Introduction

Industry Overview
It is common knowledge that cycling can help protect individuals from serious diseases like stroke, heart attack, certain cancers, depression, diabetes, obesity, and arthritis. Cycling is a healthy, fun, low-impact exercise that can be enjoyed by all ages, and it is easily adaptable to a person’s daily routine when commuting to shops, parks, school, or work.
Buying a used bike with a few months on it will help you get a better price than the new model. It also helps with lower insurance premiums, and although the difference may not be huge, the age of a bike reduces its value and therefore reduces its insurance premium. Buying a used bike can save you a lot of money, and it is also a good eco-friendly product to buy second-hand, therefore, choosing a place to get a used bike is important to cycling customers.
Most of the time, customers get their business impressions from its online reviews and ratings. eKomi believes that client feedback and reviews are essential to business development.
