ABS-bike-5w-web.png

The Edmonton Bike Swap, a non-profit annual one day bike buy & sell, is happening today, Saturday, May 14, 2016 at 11415 168 Street NW. Please note the new location as the original venue of Northlands has become a reception centre for wildfire evacuees.

Bring your bike to sell it. Or come buy a bike if you don't have one! Or both.

Additionally, the Edmonton Bike Swap will be accepting gently used bicycles for a special collection for those affected by the Fort McMurray wildfiers. During the intake period (8am-2pm), technicians will perform mechanical checks and reconditioning of donated bikes, and the swap will accept donations to help support those repairs. A separate area will be available during the sales period (2:30pm-4pm) for residents from Fort McMurray with valid ID to pick up a FREE youth bike for their child.

All bikes in the swap should be able to be safely ridden away, so they will be checked by the swap's volunteer mechanics for safety.
