Host A Community Bike Swap

How it Works

1.     Make a few rules for your swap

Set up a few rules stating what kind of condition the bikes need to be in and other information that’s pertinent or will make the swap as smooth as possible. For example, pricing or establishing what kind of “currency” will be used.

2.     Pick a date and time

Check with potential swappers what date and time work best for them and keep in mind that people will need extra time to clear their items at the end of the day.

3.     Pick a place

Keep track of how many people you are expecting and find a place that can comfortably fit everyone. Outdoor spaces like parks and front yards are great if the weather is good. Or reach out into your community for other larger outdoor spaces like schools, churches, etc.

4.     Figure out what to do with the leftovers
