Event Description
The Seattle Bike Swap is the bike community at its best. Neighbors helping neighbors buy and sell a trove of bicycle treasures, new and old. What's for sale? Everything from new bikes and gear, to classics straight from personal collections. We have both established bike shops and independent sellers present. Find a great selection of bikes and bike-related goods of all types and sizes. It's a good idea to come with cash, but some sellers may take credit. This is a fun day for scouting out the perfect addition to your collection – or learning about options if you're new to bicycling. This huge sale is one day only, so don't miss out!
The E-Bike Demo returns for its third year! Test ride new e-bikes from multiple brands. Bring a helmet and we'll give you a short route to try out.

There is ample car parking within walking distance of the Exhibition Hall, as well as bike parking outside the Exhibition Hall. Remember to bring your bike lock! We also recommend attendees take public transportation. Seattle Center is a short walk from many bus lines. More details can be found, here!
Consignment
If you have a working bike you want to sell, but don't want to rent a booth, we offer consignment. We will do our best to sell your bike for you for a fee ($10 plus 10% of the selling price). A team of skilled volunteers are on the floor to assist buyers and to help sell your bike. Proceeds benefit our Education programs!
Consignment bikes are sold for cash only.
Before the day of the event:
- Download and print the consignment form at home and help the line move just a little faster.
- Get a quick estimate for your bike at BicycleBlueBook.
- Email us at info@cascade.org if you have any questions about consignment before the event.
To sell your bike on consignment on the day of the event:
- Bring your bike to the swap between 8:00 a.m. - 8:30 a.m.
- Intake for the last bikes wraps up and bikes are set up for a 9 a.m. open.
- Complete a form and pay $10 per bike (includes one entry for the seller into the swap). Maximum of two bikes allowed.
- Return by 1 p.m. that same day, and we will give you your cut of the proceeds (or your bike, if it does not sell).
Frequently Asked Consignment Questions
"What prices should I set for my consigned bike?" is probably the #1 question that we get on the morning of the Bike Swap. In the end, only you can set these prices. We recommend setting your asking price and lowest price before you show up on the day of the event. Take the following factors into consideration:
- Start by finding an estimate on BicycleBlueBook for your make, model, and year.
- Consider the current state of the bike. When was it last tuned up? Can the tires hold air?
- Consider your priorities and motivation. If you want to reclaim space in your garage sooner than later, you might set a lower minimum price. That way you go home with cash in hand and space for a new bike in your fleet! Ask yourself if you want a better chance of leaving Bike Swap with cash or with your unsold bike.
- Consider buyer priorities and motivations. Bike Swap is a good place to find deals and buyers are hoping to find the perfect bike for their needs at the perfect price for them. Being flexible with your price range is a good way to appeal to a wider range of potential buyers.
