The second annual bike swap at Eastside Cycleworks is set to take place on March 29, 2025, in Leavenworth, creating an exciting opportunity for cyclists to score bargains on used bikes. Last year, the event was a hit, collecting over 60 bikes, and organizers are optimistic about reaching 100 this time around. Sellers can drop off their bicycles from March 23 to 28, allowing them to set their own prices. They have the option to receive 80 percent of the sale value in cash or 100 percent in store credit, promoting fair pricing practices. Shoppers are encouraged to arrive early for the best selection, as the bikes will be displayed in the back parking lot.

To test ride a bike, an ID and credit card will be required, ensuring safety and security. The swap kicks off at 9 a. m. , coinciding with an additional one-day sale inside the store, making it a must-visit for cycling enthusiasts. This event not only fosters community engagement but also supports sustainable cycling practices through the recycling of bikes.
