2022 Year in Review

What a year!. Dan and I founded the company in January, launched our MVP website in June and got our first sale in July. Each month has been bigger and more exciting than the last. Here are the highlights!

First Sale

We were expecting our first sale to be a stem or maybe a crankset. Instead we sold this awesome Nate Zuaks frame.



Biggest Sale

Our biggest sale came the following month: this Santa Cruz Santa Cruz Bullit CC for a whopping $7,999!



Coolest Vintage Bike

We love vintage bikes at BikeList. I knew this Salsa Ala Carte wouldn’t last long when it hit the site. I almost bought it myself!



Top Brand

Our top selling brand is…drum roll... Thomson! And for good reason. They make beautiful, durable stuff (I run their posts on all of my bikes).



New Features

We stayed busy making improvements to the site all year long. First we rolled out Price Drops. Then we launched Make Offer. Then we integrated with Project 529. Then we added private messaging and integrated commenting on blog posts. And we are about to launch local shopping!



We Launched Our Nonprofit Program

We at BikeList are dedicated to supporting the nonprofit bike shops that serve our communities. To help nonprofit shops clear donated inventory they may struggle to sell locally, we are offering all nonprofit shops the ability to post and sell items on BikeList for free. You can read more about our program here.

And we were thrilled to welcome Pedal It Forward as the first shop in our nonprofit program.



We Launched Merch

So far we have stickers, shirts and hats for sale on the site. But our truckers are definitely most popular. We sold out of the camo version quick, but don't worry, more are on the way!



We Launched Our Social Channels

First Instagram, then TikTok and Youtube. This was our most popular IG post and this was our most popular IG reel. And this TikTok blew up! Watch our most popular YouTube below.



We Launched Our Newsletter

We have sent out 25 weekly newsletters so far! We try to keep it fun! If you haven't already, sign up and check it out!

We Got Out of the House

First we went to Philly, then the we went to the cross races in Seattle. We have lots more travel planned for next year!



We Profiled Our Top Sellers

We love our sellers, and we love their answers to our stupid questions. You can read the whole Seller of the Week series here.



We Worked With Influencers

We had a lot of fun with influencers this year. From Oldshovel to Rad BMX Builds to Jess The Maker. And Hannah Bergemann starred in our bike boxing video!



We Got Involved in Politics

The new 1099k rules have been no fun for anyone. Dan got us involved with the 1099k Fairness Coalition. And as of Friday the 23rd it looks like it might have paid off!



People Wrote About Us

First Geekwire, then PEZ Cycling News. Then Dan Cavallari even invited me on his podcast!



We Are Just Getting Started!

Wow that seems a lot! But we have even bigger plans for next years! Thank you to everyone who has come this far with us! And stay tuned for more!
