Great Maine Bike Swap
Great Maine Bike Swap Features Great Deals, Exhibits and Entertainment
Bicycles of all types - from mountain bikes to road bikes, kids’ bikes and hybrids - will be for sale. The public is invited to sell used bikes in good, working condition. Volunteer advisors and experts will be on hand to help with pricing and bike fit. The Bangor indie band, Feel It Robot, will perform at the swap. The band is known for original songs such as "Let's Ride Our Bikes!" (listen to mp3 clip). Admission to the Great Maine Bike Swap is $3, with free admission for students at the University of Maine and children 12 or younger. There is a $3 fee to place a bike for sale and a 15 percent commission on all bike sale proceeds. All money raised supports the Bicycle Coalition of Maine's education and safety programs. Volunteers are needed for the Orono swap. For more information or to sign up, click here. A record-breaking crowd of more than 1,400 people attended the Great Maine Bike Swap at the University of Southern Maine in Portland on April 28, and more than 300 bicycles were sold. Thanks to the dozens of volunteers who made the swap a big success. Help Spread the Word!  Flyer for Orono SwapPoster for Orono Swap
