Bike Swap Event Celebrates Cycling and Sustainability

The 14th annual Recycle-A-Bicycle Bike Swap offers the perfect opportunity for community members to sell or purchase used bicycles and accessories. Hosted at the Old Town Parking Deck, the event will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on May 17, 2025. Whether looking for a fun summer cruiser, a practical commuter bike or an upgrade for a growing child, shoppers will find a wide variety of options.

The Bike Swap welcomes bicycles and bike accessories such as trailers, hitches, racks, frames and wheels, provided they are in good, rideable condition. Tires must hold air, and brakes and shifters must be functional. Small personal items like shoes, helmets or clothing will not be accepted. Sellers can drop off bikes from 6 to 8 p.m. on May 16, also at the Old Town Parking Deck.

Participants that sell bikes receive 75 percent of the proceeds with the other 25 percent supporting the Recycle-A-Bicycle program. Funds raised enable the program to continue providing essential active transportation options to economically disadvantaged individuals and families in the area.

Location: Old Town Parking Deck, Traverse City. For more information, call 231-401-1132 or visit TraverseTrails.org.
