Bike Swap in the News!

Check out some of the local news stories on the bike swap!


16th Annual Bike Swap: April 27-28

The Swap

For the past 16 years,  Continental Ski & Bike has been helping the community of Duluth stay healthy and active by hosting and facilitating a yearly community driven bike swap. We have grown the swap from re-homing dozens of bikes the first year to last year turning over more than 500 bicycles to new homes and raising almost $12,000 for local charity in the process. 

The swap not only helps local bicycles find new loving homes, but it also helps to keep them out of landfills, supports healthy living, makes people smile and supports our local charity the Duluth DEVO Bike Program.

 

Ways To Help...

Donate a Bike

100% of the proceeds from donated bicycles will be given to Duluth DEVO


Donated Bikes can be dropped off at Continental during store hours starting April 1st.
