Looking for a bike? Wanting to sell your used bikes or bike gear? Come to the Borealis Pavilion at the Tanana Valley State Fairgrounds on Saturday, June 3.
The Fairbanks Cycle Club is holding its annual Bike Swap on that day. The schedule for the event is as follows:
- 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.: Check-in/gear drop off
- 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.: Sale
- 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.: Cash-out/unsold gear pick-up
Looking to buy? There are frequently great deals to be had on bikes and bike gear. You can spend a little or spend a lot. Volunteers will be on hand to assist with advice, fit, minor adjustments, and more. Bankstown Bike and Ski will also have its trailer there and will be performing free bike checks.
People interested in selling their gear are encouraged to visit the FCC's Bike Swap event page: www.fairbankscycleclub.org/events/bike-swap/. The page has links to a downloadable consignment form, instructions for filling out the form, and useful links for websites that can help you with pricing bikes and gear. If you are selling, please try to download and fill out the consignment form ahead of time.
For questions on the bike swap or to volunteer please contact Eric Troyer ([email protected]).
COVID and other serious respiratory viruses are a concern in group settings. The Borealis Pavilion is large, has high ceilings, and good airflow. Gear and bikes will be spread out as much as possible. The risk of virus transmission is low. However, please stay home if you are sick or have been recently exposed to COVID or any other serious respiratory virus.
KID'S BIKE RODEO
Next to the swap, the Fairbanks Volunteers in Policing will hold a free bike rodeo for kids. The event includes a skills course and free helmet giveaway. The helmets are donated courtesy of Kinross Ft Knox. Loaner bikes for using the skills course are offered courtesy of Goldstream Sports and Fairbanks Cycle Club.
