Alberta Bike Swap

ccess by money only. Bikes sold at the swap are safer than a garage sale purchase because our squad of volunteer bike techs who performs a basic safety and mechanical check of each bike. The issues we’ve had to deal with include a cracked frame, scratched off serial numbers, and a few stolen bikes. Some good bikes with a minor issue will go into the sale with a descriptive tag. We are geared toward name brand, adult oriented bikes. There are thousands of new economy bikes available from a number of outlets, they are referred to as ‘bicycle shaped objects’, that are better to look at than to ride. Unless they come to swap in brand new condition, they will not pass the safety check. We record all the serial numbers, there is paper trail of ownership that the police and RCMP support. We strongly suggest the new owner register their purchased bike with the Bike Index.
