Congrats Wayne Andrusiak for winning our 2017 Giant Stance mountain bike!! Thank you to who bought tickets. Funds raised from this raffle went directly to the bike park development.
I went to the Edmonton bike show this weekend with my three boys...I highly recommend it, all the major brands were represented including Specialized, Rocky Mountain, Pivot, Cube etc. The cool thing was...you could take one of their new bikes for a test drive!! There were a lot of great exhibits, one that caught my eye...being a father of three bikers was the Alberta Bike Swap booth. Basically they run events in major cities where in the morning, you can bring your used bike, they give it a tech examination and suggest a price. In the afternoon it switches over to a bike sale. Last year, Revolution Cycle brought a bunch of brand new previous year bikes which were sold at half price. I asked one of the organizers what price range to expect, he said average price was $380.00. They had an example on display a beautiful Santa Cruz with a Cannondale lefty fork that sold for $400.00......Then we got a HUGE tip. The volunteers get dibs on bike being processed BEFORE the sale!! That's right, you get to look at the bikes and buy it BEFORE THE SALE!! What's the catch? Yes, there is a catch, volunteer spots are limited....Tyler and I signed up immediately!! If you are interested check out their website at Edmonton Bike Swap
