Kootenay Bike Swap

Kootenay Bike Swap
Kootenay Bike Swap is a single-day event hosted by JCI Kootenay, where you can come and consign a bicycle or purchase one. All proceeds go to JCI Kootenay, a local non-profit organization. We want to provide people with a safe and hassle-free way to sell their bike, rather than have people come to their home. The cost to consign your bike is a $15 seller's fee and a 15% commission. The event aims to sell quality name-brand bikes, not bikes from big-box stores. We expect bikes to be for sale between $100 and $6000.
