Hello Vivo! Announcing Our 2026 Calgary Venue

Finding the right space to house thousands of bikes and even more passionate cyclists is no small feat. This year, we are moving to Vivo for Healthier Generations, a venue that shares our commitment to building a stronger, more active Alberta.

Why Vivo? We listened to your feedback! While we always aim for accessibility, Vivo offers the perfect blend of space, parking, and community spirit. It’s a facility designed for movement, making it the ideal backdrop for the Circular Economy in action.

Event Day Logistics:

Date: Saturday, May 2, 2026.

Alberta Bike Swap is a one-day, non-profit community event where cyclists and families can safely buy and/or sell and/or donate bicycles that have been tech-checked for rideability and verified against stolen-bike databases using our proprietary copyrighted Bicycle Swap Software. This trusted swap brings together riders of all levels, quality bicycles, supports local strategic alliances, and helps fund legitimate CAN-BIKE safe cycling initiatives across Western Canada.

Event Schedule:
08:00–14:00 – Consign your bike (consign)
14:00–14:30 – Peace of Mind Preview*
14:30–17:00 – Buy a bike or three

08:00-17:00 – donate a bike

*Stolen bikes are a bummer, but our tech is top-tier. We invite anyone with an active police report to do a quick it’s definitely not here lap before the doors officially open. It’s the only time the entire day’s inventory is on the floor at once—come see for yourself that we’ve kept stolen bikes out!

Join us to rehome great bikes, find your next ride, and support cycling in the community. Every bike passed through the swap contributes to safer, more accessible active transportation.

Vivo isn’t just a building; it’s a regional hub. Hosting the swap here allows us to serve not just Calgary, but the surrounding communities who travel from all over the province (and even SK and BC!) to be part of this event.
