Shared on behalf of the
Edmonton Bike Swap is on September 7 at the Alberta Aviation Museum 11410 Kingsway NW.

We are a non-profit that provides a safe place to buy and/or sell and/or donate bikes that usually puts Edmonton Bike Swap on the second Saturday in May, but a coronary bypass changed a few things in our life.

Our events are run with volunteers and we're still looking for a few to help us help others; please consider one day of touching a lot of bikes. https://albertabikeswap.ca/volunteer/

0800-1400
If you have a bike to sell take it to the swap between 0800-1400 and we’ll check that bike to ensure that it's safe to ride and run the serial number through our software to verify that the bike has not been flagged as stolen because it's illegal to own a stolen bike and no one wants to buy a stolen bike.

1400-1430
Have a stolen bike police report? All the bikes will be entered into the swap by 1400, please come to our event at 1400 so that you can see for yourself that your bike isn't in our event. The police and RCMP have seized bikes from online sales and pawnshops based on what we do, and insurance companies use our paperwork as proof of ownership.

1430-1600
Want to buy a bike? Stand in line, suggest no later than 10:30. IF you can pay the $2.00 admission that $2.00 will go to repair the hundreds of donated bikes. Those donated bikes will go to Sport Central and Bike Edmonton.

We have children's bikes because it helps families.

We work with over 30 groups to rebuild donated bikes and have over 90 partners that help us help others. We work with every group in Alberta, except one: https://albertabikeswap.ca/strategic-alliances/.
