More Than a Market: Alberta Bike Swap and the Power of 100+ Partnerships

With only 8 days until the Calgary Bike Swap and 38 days until Calgary Climate Week, the excitement is building. But for us, this isn’t just about moving gear—it’s about moving society forward.

The Golden Rule: We Don’t Fundraise. We often say we don’t fundraise because we do this for all of society, not just our own cause. That is why we work over 100 community groups choose kindness and us. Our goal is to ensure every bike finds its best purpose, whether that’s on the road with a new owner or being rebuilt for someone in need.

Selling Made Simple & Safe Selling a bike shouldn’t be a gamble. Every bike at our swap is tech-checked to make sure it’s safe to ride. We verify serial numbers to ensure bikes are not stolen, giving buyers total peace of mind. Not sure what your bike is worth? We have a custom app to help guide you on the right price.

Buying with Confidence When you buy with us, you know you’re getting a safe, inspected ride. We accept all forms of payment, and thanks to our partners at Helcim, our checkout is lightning-fast and incredibly secure.

The Cycle of Giving Where do donations go? We partner with groups who can do the most good:

• CP Kids and Families: They rebuild specific bikes for children with physical disabilities.

• Chinook Kiwanis & Red Deer Optimists: Helping families across Southern Alberta.

• The “As-Is” Section: For those in need of immediate, affordable transport. Money from these sales goes directly back into buying parts to rebuild donated bikes.

Join us in 8 days to see how a bike swap can change a community. And join us in 38 days at #calgaryclimateweek to learn more about CAN-BIKE because a bike isn’t useful unless one knows how to ride it.
