Bikes, Bottles and Baking….Annual Event This Sunday

Thursday, April 10, 2014 @ 3:47 AM

Prince George, B.C.- Time to dust off the old  two wheeler and take it to the annual Bike Swap.

The Prince George Cycling Club’s 6th Annual Bike Swap & Bottle Drive takes place this Sunday, April 13th at the Moose Hall.

Every year, the swap meet connects used bikes and equipment to those who need it, and raises funds
for the Club’s programs.

“Cycling in all forms is a very popular activity in Prince George. There are unlimited opportunities to ride for transportation, sport or recreation,” says club volunteer, Jillian Merrick. “A community bike sale
is a great way to keep unused bikes from collecting dust in the garage and to help other cyclists meet their equipment needs affordably.”

Those looking to sell their bicycles and cycling-related equipment can drop off their items at the Moose Hall at 663 Douglas St on Sunday morning between 8:00am and 10:30am. The sale will officially open at 11:00am on Sunday and run until 2:00pm.

Typically, there are  about  100 bicycles of all shapes and sizes available for sale by club volunteers.

No bike?  No problem, you can also contribute to the Prince George Cycling Club’s fundraising goals by bringing recyclables for the club’s annual bottle drive, or buy a treat or two  at the bake sale being held at the same time.

The Prince George Cycling Club has been developing some major projects over the past year, and has contributed almost $10,000 to expanded mountain bike trails. The club also organizes Bike to Week & School Week, which returns this year in the last week in May.
