Second-hand bicycles & cycling in Fredericton typically sells for C$19 to C$2,250 (about $13 to $1,600). Frame size and groupset set the price, and condition of the moving parts sets the rest. A good frame with worn consumables is a better buy than the reverse, because chains and brake pads are cheap.

Buying bicycles & cycling in Fredericton
Fredericton is the provincial capital, a university and government town on the river with a good deal of preserved architecture and a strong local arts and craft scene. It is small, walkable and dominated by two institutions rather than an industry.
Getting a bicycle to somebody by courier means stripping the bars, the pedals and often the wheels, then trusting whoever rebuilds it. Collection in person avoids all of that and lets brakes and gears be handed over already set up properly. Locally, bicycles are one of the few things that move reliably enough to be worth listing on their own.
What to check in person
Run through every gear while the cranks turn, since a bent hanger shows up there and nowhere else. Squeeze along each spoke for slack ones, look at the braking surface on the rims for a worn hollow, and push the saddle hard from behind to test the post.
Collecting it in Fredericton
It needs a van and realistically two people. Ask about the stairs, the doorway and the parking at the seller’s end before you set off, because that is the detail that decides whether the trip was worth making.
The downtown is compact and walkable and the river trail system is genuinely useful. Driving and parking are both easy, so anything large is straightforward.

The academic year sets the rhythm: student housing empties in April and refills in September. Government postings move households on a separate and slower cycle.
Photograph the drivetrain close up and clean it first, because a dirty chain reads as neglect whatever the rest is like. List the rider height the frame suits and note every part that has been changed from standard. Rises sharply in spring and stays strong through summer, then falls back in autumn.
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
