left vertical navigation I'm a freak about scratches, dings, and cosmetic issues. Will my bike be perfect when it arrives? No way! We only sell bikes that have issues of some sort. That's why it's such a good deal! We actually like scratches, dings and scars. To quote an old Poi Dog Pondering song...'They are a map of the adventures and places you've been...' How to reach us At Bike Island we respect your knowledge and your ability to buy what you need...if , however, you need some help or have some questions, just ask. We'll answer promptly and try to help you out. Bikes are fun and you should have fun at Bike Island! On Bike Island we want to sell the things we like to use and the bike stuff we believe in. Of course, there are a few things we can not get or we can not offer a great deal on. The items we do sell are all great products that we feel good about sending to you. If you want something you don't see, let us know and we'll try to help. At Bike Island we do not harvest your personal statistics, credit card numbers, or email addresses.

On Bike Island, we use USPS, Fed Ex and sometimes UPS -- Most small items we sell, we send via Priority mail -- 2 to 3 days from here at Bike Island to your door.
