	Bike Explorer A relatively useful site that can be a little too American to be of use to the UK bike rider. However, it does contain some very useful links and is worth a look for finding bike resources on the web.
	Bikecrawler This is a really useful site for finding cycling resources on the web. It has a search engine and loads of useful categories filled with loads of links to cycling sites from across the globe. Can occasionally be a little biased towards the US market.
	Biking UK - Dealers This mountain biking site offers a listing of dealers across the UK ordered by location and links to their websites if they have one. Although there is often only one bike shop per town listed, it is usually one of the best shops in its area.

Buy or sell a second hand bike

	Loot This is the online version of the popular Loot magazine. You can buy and sell a huge range of stuff from all over the country. There loads and it’s a simple, easy to use site.
	Preloved - Cycling The cycle section of Preloved lets your look at hundreds of adverts for second hand bikes and advertise your own.
	QXL A well known auction site where you can buy pretty much anything that takes your fancy. There are lots of different categories to choose from and the process is simple to use and understand and offers security for buying and selling online.

	CTC - Insurance The UK's national cyclists organisation offers excellent insurance deals and free third party liability cover to its members. Legal advice is also included. Well worth a look for better than average cycle insurance.
	Insurance Sorter Another excellent site from the creators of 'Pension Sorter'. Here you can find genuinely independent advice about all the different forms of insurance available. The first place to come if you need help, advice or just easy to understand information.
