Get Bike Month Ready at the Bike Swap

Prepare for Bike Month in May by getting your ride ready today.

Buy, sell, or trade bicycle items from your garage and find new-to-you gear for the spring riding season on April 15 at the Bike Swap. The event is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 360 Campbell Ave. SW, one block from Downshift, and also includes free bike inspections and repairs.

But you do need to register if you want to sell or trade. That will give organizers an idea of what you’ll be bringing and how much space you’ll need. Please arrive at 10:30 a.m. to get your items set up. Downshift will provide some tables for sellers on a first come, first served basis.

Not interested in selling but totally game to go treasure hunting? Just show up and have fun!

Plus, Roanoke Mountain Adventures will have many of their bicycle-related consignment items for sale at the Bike Swap.

The event includes a mobile repair station and parts to give your bike a “Bike Month Ready” assessment. Depending on what your bike needs we may even be able to fix it up right on the spot! You’ll be ready to ride for the RIDE Solutions Ride Smart Challenge.

Any donations from the mobile repair station will be given to Family Service of Roanoke Valley’s PedalUp program! PedalUp is a project to get bikes in the hands of kids for therapeutic purposes.

Downshift – Hand Crafted Bikes & Brews will also have our Nitro Cold Brew Coffee from Lexington Coffee Roasters on site to keep us all much happier.
