TART Trails, Recycle A Bicycle, and Porterhouse Productions present The Traverse City Dandy Horse Bike Festival & Bicycle Swap!

Friday, June 10:
Want to get rid of your gently used bikes and bike gear? Here’s how it works:
1. YOU, the seller, drop off your bike/gear at at the Old Town Parking Garage (125 E Eighth St.) from 5-8PM on Friday.
2. You name the price for what you’d like to sell the bike/gear at the swap, taking place from 10AM-6PM on Saturday and from 9AM-12 noon on Sunday.
3. Keep your fingers crossed that your items are picked up by someone who will love them just as much as you have … and they buy them. That money is donated directly to Traverse City’s wonderful TART program!
4. If your items do not sell, and you do not choose to pick them up before noon on Sunday, they will be donated to TART’s Recycle-A-Bicycle program.
5. Feel good about helping out TART. Awesome!
