Vendors, volunteers, and the public are invited, April 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Tacoma Community College for the 15th Annual Pierce County Bike Swap. (South 19th & S Mildred, Tacoma)

The Pierce County community is invited to the annual Bike Swap, which brings the bicycling community together to buy, sell bikes and bike parts, to test ride their future bike, practice bike riding skills, discuss best cycling routes, and much more.

In 2026 we are celebrating the 15th year of the Pierce County Bike Swap!

The Swap is a FREE family-friendly community event where anyone can sell or buy used bicycles and bicycle parts. We encourage you to bring a helmet if you plan on test-riding bikes. At the Bike Swap, you can expect:

🏷️BIKE SALE RACK: Buy a bike or sell a bike at our Bike Sale Rack. If you have 1-2 bikes to sell, this is the recommended route. There are no listing or selling fees. You do not need to sell a bike to buy, or trade. Come find your new-to-you ride! 

🦺BIKE SAFETY CHECK: Make sure your bike is safe to test ride by taking it through a free safety check by Opalescent Cyclery.

🔧BIKE REPAIRS: Goldspoke will be on-site to handle more complex repairs, at a cost.

🚴🏿BIKE TEST RIDE AREA: Test out your potential new ride on a secure, short route through the Swap.

⛑️FREE AND LOW-COST HELMETS: Provided by Bespoke BikeWorks, bicyclists can purchase affordable helmets and get a proper helmet fitting.

🗺️BIKE MAP MASTERS: Discuss best biking routes with seasoned local riders at the Bike Map Masters station.

🚦BIKE SKILLS PRACTICE AREA: Folks of all ages and abilities can practice safe riding skills such as balancing, scanning, stopping, turning, and more.

🚍PIERCE TRANSIT BUS: Practice putting your bike on the bus rack in a calm environment.

😋FOOD TRUCKS: Enjoy delicious sweet and savory food from Travelin Tom’s, El Koreano and Bun and Press.

🚲BIKE INDEX AND BICYCLE BENEFITS STICKERS: With a Bike Index sticker, you can add security to your bike by registering it to the Bike Index directory. A Bicycle Benefits helmet sticker can be used to receive discounts at participating businesses in Pierce County (and nationwide).

🛍️VENDORS: We are inviting local bike shops and bike-related organizations to show off their products and share the latest information with you on bicycling in Pierce County. If you have several bicycles or bike parts to sell, we recommend you register as a vendor. Vendor registration for 2026 is now open!
