The annual Calgary Bike Swap operated Alberta Bike Swap is coming up on May 4th. Alberta Bike Swap provides a safe place to buy, sell, and donate bicycles. If you have a bike to sell or want to buy a bike, they will tech check that bike and run the serial number through their software to verify bike ownership because no one wants to buy a stolen bike. They’re the only Bike Index Ambassadors in Calgary and Calgary Police attend and support these events. The police and RCMP have seized bikes from online sales and pawnshops based on the work Alberta Bike Swap does.
They work with over 30 groups to rebuild donated bikes too, and have over 80 partners that help them help others. If you have an unused or have outgrown a bike, they have a partner that will recondition that bike for re-use. Please consider contacting them if you are putting on a community clean-up, we’ll make sure those bikes are re-cycled to someone that can use them (pun intended).
Municipalities spend millions on cycling infrastructure, but nothing on cycling education. They fund legitimate cycling education through CAN-BIKE, which is the only recognized cycling education program in Canada and there are only four (4) CAN-BIKE cycling instructors in Alberta.
