- Have a bike you’ve outgrown or upgraded? Sell It
- Want to buy a new or used bike? Shop It
- Have a bike you don’t want anymore? Donate It
- Want to connect with a local bike club, bike shop, biking event or learn how to put your bike on an STA bus? Discover It at the Spokane Bike Swap & Expo!
To sell a bike, register it online today at www.SpokaneBikeSwap.com and check it in on Friday, April 11 from 3-8pm. Bike registration is $5 and all bikes that sell will be assessed a 6% consignment fee. The consignment fee will be deducted before issuing the check to the seller. If your bike does not sell, you will not be charged the 6% fee. The $5 registration cost is waived on kids’ bikes with 20 inch wheels or smaller that are priced at $50 or less.
Have a bike to donate? Call (509) 720-3228 and volunteers will arrange to pick it up. Last year, 28 bikes were donated. Through the efforts of volunteers Len and Danny Zickler, the bikes were refurbished with new brakes and tires and were added to the Bike Corral, bringing in nearly $3,000 for the Friends of the Centennial Trail.
“There is great demand for affordable kids’ bikes because they outgrow them so quickly,” states volunteer Karen Nielsen. “Bike Swap is an affordable way to get bikes in the hands of children in our community who may not have the opportunity to learn how to ride a bike, unless it’s a good deal and in good shape.”
From kids bikes and road bikes to tandems and tri-bikes, great deals await and over 600 bikes are expected for the Bike Corral. If the Bike Corral doesn’t have what you’re looking for, local bike shops will be on hand with competitively-priced bikes and accessories: Wheel Sport, North Division Bicycle Shop, Fitness Fanatics, Northwest Recumbent Cycles, Bicycle Butler, Elephant Bikes, Terra Sports, Monkey Boy Bicycles, Cool Water Bikes, Pedals2People and more. And, learn more from biking events, clubs, destinations and health & fitness providers ready to share the latest ways you can enjoy biking!
