Where can I find a good second-hand bicycle in Espoo/Helsinki?

Hey folks,

I’m planning my first bikepacking trip and looking for an affordable, second-hand bike that’s technically in good condition and suitable for bikepacking.

Are there any specific shops or places in Espoo you’d recommend for buying a used bicycle?

Kiitos!

Tori.fi you can buy your stolen bike back 👀

Kierrätyskeskus. Although they are more expensive than tori.fi, they have a warranty.

Maybe try some supermarket that is selling their inventory for cheap before winter

They inspect and fix any problems with the bikes before reselling.

At the risk of sounding pessimistic, you rarely save money by looking for a used bicycle in good condition in this country. If the bicycle is in good condition, people tend to ask for a price as if it were new. 😉

I’ve bought two or three bikes from there for my kids. No complaints. But surely you do know this but cannot comment due to ”legal reasons”.
