Private Facebook Marketplace ? (slrpnk.net)

I'm one of those oddballs who's never joined, but I'm in the market for a new to me bike, and it seems like all the action is on marketplace. Am I screwed, or is there an effective workaround ?

Edit: Not US. There are local alternatives that I know about, but they are worse, please answer question as asked ! Basically I'm thinking of alternative software ala FreeTube, or a way of spoofing facebook to make a dummy account only to be used for this and if so what precautions to take...

A bike with a motor, or a bicycle?

If the former, you can always use Cycletrader. For the latter, well, sorry.

bicycle, FWIW, but it's a more general problem...

Yeah, I don't have any great options there, sorry.

By the time I've gotten around to getting rid of old bicycles, I'm usually selling them for pennies or giving them away, because I ride them right into the ground.
