Alberta Bike Swap provides a safe place to buy, sell, and donate bicycles. If you have a bike to sell or want to buy a bike they’ll tech check that bike and run the serial number to verify bike ownership because no one wants a stolen bike.
They work with dozens of groups to rebuild donated bikes too. If you have an unused or have outgrown a bike they have a partner that would recondition that bike for re-use. Please consider contacting them if you are putting on a community clean-up, they’ll make sure that bikes are re-cycled to someone that can use them (pun intended).
Municipalities spend millions on cycling infrastructure, but nothing on cycling education. CAN-BIKE is the only recognized cycling education program in Canada. Chris, the taller half of the bike swaps, is the only person in Alberta to have CAN-BIKE Master Instructor status and his courses are informative and educational.
