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. JCI strives to provide people 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 sellers fee and 15% commission. The event takes aim at selling quality, name brand bikes and not bikes from big box stores.
