CertifyCycle in Decathlon's Circular Bazaar 2025: Kick-Starting Van Rysel & Propelling the Decathlon Buy-Back Program with Next-Gen Carbon Fiber Inspections

Safety when cycling isn't just an option for us—it's our way of life. At Decathlon's Circular Bazaar 2025 in Southeast Asia, we enjoyed a cool enthusiasm for everything bike. With Decathlon, we were thrilled to announce that every high-performance second-hand bike underwent stringent safety tests—because Decathlon now requires all carbon fiber bicycles to be certified by CertifyCycle. Not only did this fun event present Decathlon's premium-quality Van Rysel brand to the public, but it also increased the groundbreaking Decathlon buy-back program, recycling quality bikes and making sustainability happen.

Getting to Know Van Rysel: Southeast Asia's High-Performance Cycling

One of the highlights for us during the event was the highly anticipated launching of Decathlon's Van Rysel brand. Renowned for precision engineering and supported by professional outfits like AG2R La Mondiale, Van Rysel is cycling at its high-performance best. With the new, slimmer models now available on the market, there was genuine enthusiasm among local cyclists—here was the opportunity to ride a bike designed for first-class performance, robust enough to withstand the rigors of competition racing but still providing that raw, spine-tingling sensation we all long for. It wasn't just the introduction of a product; it was a moment of pride in the relentless drive for cycling excellence that unites us all.

The Role of CertifyCycle: Leadership in Safety through High-Tech Inspections

At the heart of our mission at CertifyCycle is our vision to safeguard and empower the world of cycling through the provision of cutting-edge, high-tech inspections. Throughout the bazaar, we provided full carbon fiber bicycle inspections—a service that is becoming increasingly popular as more cyclists resort to high-performance second-hand bikes. Using the most advanced thermal imaging technology available, we carefully inspected each carbon fiber frame for hidden defects and stress points that the naked eye cannot see.

Decathlon has established a trailblazing precedent by requiring that all carbon fibre bikes in their buy-back program be certified by CertifyCycle. This step underscores the most critical need to ensure the structural integrity of each and every bicycle prior to placing it back on the road. Our rigorous, data-based certification reports are so much more than a run-of-the-mill check-up—they provide rock-solid assurance that each bicycle meets the highest level of safety. This is not just about technology; it's about faith. We are sure that when you purchase a second-hand bike, you would like to make sure that it's safe. Each inspection we perform is driven by our concern for your safety and our belief that every cyclist should have a smooth ride.

Encouraging Ecologically Sustainable Cycling Through Decathlon's Buy-Back Program

The most groundbreaking aspect of the event was Decathlon's ambitious buy-back program—a flagship initiative designed to encourage cyclists to upgrade responsibly. Under the program, cyclists are rewarded with large Decathlon gift vouchers for trading in their old cycle, enabling them to upgrade in an eco-friendly manner. Under our close collaboration with Decathlon, we ensured that every returned cycle—especially those produced from high-strength carbon fiber—is carefully examined and certified by CertifyCycle before it is re-listed for resale.

This compulsory certification not only promotes a responsible-use culture but also guarantees second-hand cycle equipment quality and safety. To see our cyclists embracing the Decathlon buy-back program and to know that earning our certification is a mandatory step towards joining in was deeply rewarding. It's a win-win situation: you receive a safer, certified bike, and we both avoid nice bikes going to waste and greenify the earth.

The Human Face of High-Tech Safety

What sets our work at CertifyCycle apart as truly exceptional isn't the latest technology—it's the individuals we meet every day. Each inspection gives us the opportunity to meet fellow cyclists as committed to safe and responsible riding as we are. We have spoken to cyclists who see their bike not only as a mode of transport but as a loyal friend on every journey—a silent witness to their adventures. When we explain to them how our thermal imaging technology uncovers hidden damage, we saw the glimmer of comprehension in their eyes. It's a powerful reminder of why we do what we do: to make every ride as safe as it is fun. Our full certification reports are more than papers; they're guarantees that allow you to tackle every hairpin turn and sweeping curve of the road with complete peace of mind. We're not testing bikes—more, we're building confidence, care, and joy of riding.
