Who we are
OnlyBikes is a South African cycling-classifieds platform operated by Slabbert (Pty) Ltd. Our website address is https://www.onlybikes.co.za.
Information We Collect
When you register, create a listing or contact another user, we may collect information including your name or username, email address, telephone number, general location, listing details, photographs and communications sent through the website.
We may also automatically collect technical information such as your IP address, browser, device information and website activity for security, spam prevention and website performance.
Public Listings
OnlyBikes is a public classifieds platform. Information you include in a listing—such as photographs, descriptions, username, telephone number and general location—may be visible to anyone visiting the website and may appear in search-engine results.
Public listings may also be shared through OnlyBikes’ social-media pages or cycling communities to increase their exposure.
Please do not publish private or sensitive information that you do not want other people to see. Images may contain embedded location data, so users should remove this data before uploading photographs if they do not want it shared.

• Create and manage user accounts and listings.
• Connect buyers and sellers.
• Operate, secure and improve the website.
• Respond to enquiries and reports.
• Detect spam, fraud or misuse.

OnlyBikes does not process payments or hold money between buyers and sellers.
