Trade-in your pre-loved bike and grab an exclusive discount during Decathlon's Bank Holiday and Half Term Buyback Event
Earn money towards your next bike this Bank Holiday weekend with Decathlon's 20% trade-in bonus


If you're shopping for a new bike this May bank holiday weekend and half term, then making Decathlon UK your first port of call could see you bag big savings as well as help your old bike find a proud new owner.
Decathlon has been running its BuyBack scheme – which lets you trade-in your pre-loved sporting gear for gift cards worth up to 40% off your next purchase – since 2023.
However, from Friday 23rd May - to Sunday 1st June Decathlon members, both new and existing, can grab an extra 20% bonus on top of the standard BuyBack value of their unwanted gear in any Decathlon store - becoming a Decathlon member is free.
Not only will you get money off of your new bike, but Decathlon's experts will refurbish and repair your old gear before selling it in its Second Life marketplace.
Once Decathlon has confirmed the trade-in value of your pre-loved equipment – it especially encourages you trade pre-loved bikes but also accepts, among other things camping gear, golf clubs and fitness equipment from any brand – you can go shopping!
For cyclists, this means you can save money on the brilliant range of Van Rysel cycling kit, and even one of the best road bikes on the market – the Van Rysel RCR, ridden by WorldTour team Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale.
