01 - Item detail
See each part clearly
Photos, condition, usage, and storage on one screen - so you always know what you have and where it lives.
From bikers to bikers
Your parts and tools, organized.Photos, condition, where they're stored - and search across all of it.
One inventory for what you own - photos, condition, usage, and status - so you can find anything without a spreadsheet. Borrowing, selling, and lending are optional: list or search nearby when that moment comes, and coordinate handoffs on your terms.
- Components and gear always lost?Catalog them in one bin - photos, condition, and where they're stored.
- Don't remember what you own?Search your inventory instead of guessing in the workshop.
- Need a tool without buying one?Check if someone nearby can loan it - distance-aware discovery when you list.
- Got tools to spare?Sell or lend when you want - optional listing and handoffs you coordinate in-app.
On the go
Your inventory comes first
The bin is home - search, groups, and messaging sit one layer out when you are ready to share or pick something up.
Same application on web, iOS, and Android.
Three steps
Your bin, then list or search, then chat
Start by tracking what you own. When you want to share or pick something up, list or browse nearby, then use in-app messaging to agree on timing and pickup.
02 - Search
List or find nearby
Offer borrow, donation, or sale; search with distance and availability - only when you need it.
03 - Messaging
Easy in-app messaging
Item-linked threads - agree on timing and pickup in one place without switching apps.
What's included
Everything in one bin
Your personal inventory is the starting point. When you list something for others or arrange a handoff, you can use nearby search, groups, messaging, pickup areas, and ratings - each only as far as you take it.
Personal inventory
The main job: know what you have - photos, condition, usage, and lifecycle status. Availability to borrow, donate, or sell is optional on each item.
Distance search
When you list publicly, nearby riders can find your items by distance - not just scroll a generic catalog.
Groups
Optional: scope visibility to clubs or crews instead of everyone.
Messaging
Item-linked threads when you coordinate a handoff with someone else.
Ratings
Lightweight feedback after handoffs when a transaction happens.
Locations
Pickup areas without exposing full street addresses by default.
Community
Open source
Bike Bin is open source. On GitHub you can suggest feature requests, report bugs, and contribute improvements to the app - whether that is code, docs, or ideas.
Fair expectations
Why item limits, ads, or paid tiers may exist
Although Bike Bin is built by bikers for their own use, running it is not free. Storing your photos and inventory data, hosting the service, and moving that data over the network all cost money.
On the free tier today you can track up to 1,000 items and attach up to 100 photos - a solid starting point with a clear ceiling so storage and bandwidth stay sustainable. There will always be a free tier that includes at least those same minimum limits. We may introduce ads or different subscription levels in the future (with higher allowances where it makes sense) so the service can stay online, scale safely, and keep improving. If those options appear, we will aim to keep them clear and proportionate.
