TCS, the largest Swiss mobility club, is acquiring a majority stake in Velocorner, the largest Swiss online marketplace for bicycles. The declared aim of the acquisition is to further promote the bicycle trade in Switzerland and make it easily accessible to the widest possible audience.

If you want to sell a bike online, you can do so on many platforms. There are the usual suspects such as Ebay, Velomarkt, Traildevils and Ricardo, to name but a few. A new provider that allows specialist dealers and private individuals to sell new and used bikes is reporting a respectable success five months after its launch.
