It also serves as a fundraiser for Send Town Bike Club, a 501(c)(3) non-profit offering youth cycling programs and events for young riders in the region.

It’s a chance to buy, sell, and swap new or used bikes, cycling gear, and apparel — all while supporting youth cycling in our community!

Participants who plan to sell items may arrive as early as 4:15 PM to set up.

Is table space available?

Yes, thanks to the Agave Room space provided by the Rio, and tables provided by YourGroupRide.com, tables are available on first-come first-serve basis. Please be neighborly and support your fellow bike loving community members by making room for everyone to fit in!

What items can be bought or sold?

All cycling-related items are welcome, including:

  • Youth bikes, including: mountain bikes, road bikes, gravel, cyclocross, dirt jump bikes, and otherwise!

    • Remember the audience is from striders to adult-sized high school riders so some larger bikes are not out of the question!

  • Youth cycling gear such as hydration packs

  • Helmets (new or lightly used)

  • Cycling shoes

  • Apparel (jerseys, bibs, jackets, gloves, etc.)

  • Components (wheels, drivetrains, pedals, etc.)

If it’s bike-related and supports youth having adventures on bikes, bring it!

Please ensure that all items are clean, in good repair, and in ready-to-sell condition. 

How do sales work?

How do I know if items are in safe and working condition?

Buyers are responsible for evaluating the quality, condition, and safety of all items purchased. This is a peer-to-peer community event for exchanging used items, so participants are expected to exercise their own judgment.  

Send Town Bike Club will not evaluate, does not warrant, and is not responsible for the quality, condition, or safety of any item bought or sold during the event. 

Why support Send Town Bike Club?

Send Town Bike Club provides youth with opportunities to build confidence, resilience, fitness, and lifelong friendships through cycling. Proceeds and donations from this event directly support programming, equipment, and financial assistance for riders.

Who can I contact with questions?
