Memorial Day Weekend Bike Swap

Killington Ski Club Hosts New England's Largest Bike Swap on Memorial Day Weekend

The first annual Beast of a Bike Swap is scheduled for Memorial Day Weekend at Killington Mountain, May 27-29, 2016.

Scheduled to coincide with the long-standing Killington Stage Race and the opening weekend of the Killington Bike Park, these holiday weekend events create an atmosphere of family-friendly cycling fun for road and mountain cyclists alike.

"This is going to be New England's largest bike swap," said Chris Clarke, Killington Ski Club president. "We have so much going on during this holiday weekend -- between mountain biking at the resort bike park to the Stage Race -- there will be thousands of bike fanatics coming to Killington for the weekend."

In addition to consigned used bikes, the Beast of a Bike Swap will offer new bikes, parts and accessories, apparel, and more, through independent retailers and local and regional brands' pop-up stores.

Riders can come to shred Killington's "killer" life-assisted trails while KSC sells their old gear at the bike swap. Great food, drink and live music throughout the town will create a lively, family-friendly bicycle-festival atmosphere. The event also supports rider programs and advocacy efforts, such as the Killington Mountain Bike Club and Little Bellas, which provides mentorship and rider education for girls.

The event is free and open to the public during the following hours:

Friday, May 27 4pm-8pm
Saturday, May 28 9am-7pm
Sunday, May 29 9am-2pm

Consignors can drop off bikes the week before the event, or anytime on Friday and Saturday. Retailers have the option to either rent booth space at the swap and set up a pop-up store, or deliver new and used items for consignment by bike swap staff.

Event proceeds benefit Killington Ski Swap offering development programs for skiers.

Information about the event including drop-off and pick-up times for consignments can be found at the Facebook event page.
