At the Bike Swap, you can expect:

  • More than 50 bike shops, merchants, nonprofits and individuals offering great deals on bikes, parts, events and gear
  • Demos and presentations about family biking, winter bike commuting and more
  • Bike-themed games and activities
  • Discounted registration for Bike the Drive and the Four Star Bike Tour

Want to sell or “swap” a bike in our corral?

Pay admission plus $5 per bike (limit three). We’ll tag and monitor the bike/s that you want to sell or trade. Then feel free to walk around and enjoy the fun. If there’s interest in your bike, we’ll give you a call–just don’t forget to bring your cell phone!

Worried that your bike won’t sell?  Working Bikes, The Recyclery and West Town Bikes will all be accepting bike donations on site!
