Rules on the road

National road traffic regulations set rules on safety equipment for cycling, and one listed club guide says that riding on a public road without a helmet is illegal. Cyclists must also stop at red traffic lights. E-bikes have their own regulations, so check those before you buy one.

Warranty and frame terms

Frame warranties vary by maker. One major brand gives a lifetime warranty on frames, except for downhill models, 10 years on rigid forks and 3 years on frames of some other models. Separate bike breakdown cover is also sold against mechanical breakdown and electrical failure.

Season and timing

Summer runs from December to February, the busiest riding season for many people, so buy before the holidays if you want to ride through them. Winter from June to August brings cold and rain to Cape Town, so plan road rides there around the forecast.

Size, delivery and how prices are quoted

Give frame size in centimetres and wheel size in inches, such as 24, 26 or 29, so sellers quote the right model. Ask whether the price includes assembly and whether delivery to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban or Gqeberha costs extra. The prices above are for the bike itself.

Describe the bike in your own words: the type (mountain, road, BMX or e-bike), the model if you know it, the frame and wheel size, whether you accept used, your budget and your city. Send it on BlaBlaPrice, add a photo if you have one, and BlaBlaPrice reads it, asks about the missing details, and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in South Africa before showing the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with price, terms and delivery, and your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them. You can browse cycling, bicycle parts or electric bikes, and read how BlaBlaPrice works.
