🚲 Pedal Power with a Purpose: Bid on the Ultimate Calgary Bike Package for the CBC Food Bank Drive! 🎁

The spirit of giving is in high gear!  Alberta Bike Swap is thrilled to announce that we’ve put together an incredible, one-of-a-kind bike package for the annual CBC Calgary Food Bank Auction. This isn’t just a bike; it’s a fully equipped, locally sourced adventure package designed to get you exploring our beautiful city while supporting our neighbours in need.

Every single component of this package is a testament to the incredible generosity and community spirit of local Calgary businesses and alliances. Take a look at what the winning bidder will ride away with!

🌟 The “Fully Loaded” Urban Explorer Package

We started with a donated bike—given a second life and ready for a new journey—and then the donations poured in to make it the ultimate prize!

• Safety First: A high-quality bike helmet generously provided by the #ChinookKiwanis club. Ride confidently knowing you’re protected.

• Light Up Your Ride: A brilliant set of lights from our long-time partners at #Bow Cycle, ensuring visibility for your early morning commutes or evening excursions.

• Did you know about Bike Assist from AMA?! Alberta Motor Association (#AMA) has donated a Community membership that incudes Bike Assist.

• Roadside Confidence: Never be stranded! #Ridleys Cycle has contributed essential bike tools to keep your wheels spinning smoothly.

• Explore Like a Local: Discover Calgary’s best routes with “#Calgary’s Best Bike Rides” (formerly “Calgary by Bike”) by local urban walk and cycle queen, Lori Beattie (Fit Frog). Your new guidebook to adventure!

• Carry Your Haul: A practical and stylish set of panniers that we found at #BikeBike and a basket from #Two Wheel View perfect for carrying groceries, picnic supplies, or everything you need for a quick weekend getaway.

• Keep those wheels spinning: #Village Bicycles has donated a tune-up and #Arcurve has donated a water bottle and a really nice bag.

🍯 Local Goodies to Sweeten the Deal

After your ride, treat yourself with these perfect post-cycle rewards:

• Sweet Fuel: A jar of delicious, locally-sourced honey from our own bees at Brisebois Bees! A perfect natural energy boost.

• Relax & Unwind: A bottle of wine to celebrate your successful bid and a great day spent on the pathways.

• Enjoy some great food for a cause: at YCAP (Youth Culinary Arts Program) a part of Wood’s Homes.

The CBC Calgary Food Bank Drive is a vital campaign that helps stock the shelves of the Calgary Food Bank, ensuring that everyone in our community has access to nutritious food.

By bidding on this fantastic package, you are not only winning a bike and a curated collection of cycling gear and local treats, but you are also directly contributing to the well-being of thousands of Calgarians.

Keep an eye on the official CBC Calgary Food Bank Auction page for your chance to bid! Let’s work together to pedal kindness and make a real difference this season.
