Want to enjoy the fine weather, but you need a bike?
Or do you have bikes that you no longer need, and want to turn them into a bit of cash (without the hassle of having to handle the sale yourself)?
The Edmonton Bike Swap, an annual one day bike buy & sell, is happening this Saturday, May 11, 2013 at Glengarry Arena (13340 85 St)!
Bring your bike to sell it. Or come buy a bike if you don’t have one! Or both.
Want first pick? Volunteer! No mechanical or bike experience is necessary.
All bikes in the swap should be able to be safely ridden away, so they will be checked by EBC’s volunteer mechanics for safety.
For full details, please see our swap page or visit the Alberta Bike Swap site. They also have an FAQ.
We are now offering hands-on workshops on the first Friday of each month. If you want to learn how to start working on your own bike but don’t know where to start, this class is for you!
