buycycle: Bikes & Sports Gear
doubtful ratingA smart, sustainable marketplace for buying and selling bikes with a good high-end selection, and people love the idea. But the execution limps: overseas shipping runs 600-800 dollars and wrecks bikes in transit through poor seller packaging with no quality check, support goes quiet when problems hit, and the seller fee creeps up without warning. Separate complaints about deals falling through with fake sellers and about card and Apple Pay payment errors.
The 4.79 store average against a 2.65 text average with 23 percent five-star text is a sharp gap. The fives are mostly generic and about the bike itself ('Love my bike so I love this app'), while the detailed reviews describe real deals: seller fee rising from 3.5 to 3.95 percent, box broken in transit, a fake seller killing a sale. Love for the purchased bike is clearly inflating the store score.
