Quad Cycles' First Annual Bike Swap

Quad Cycles is planning its first annual bicycle swap for June 21 and 22 to offer local cyclists a way to sell their gently used bikes, with proceeds from the swap to benefit the Arlington Education Foundation.

Rustem Gode, Quad Cycles’ owner, has been looking for a way to help the Arlington cycling community keep itself on high quality and affordable new bikes, as well as to make a contribution to the Arlington Education Foundation, and he came across the idea of hosting a bike swap. “I think it’s a great way to get people on good bikes and help out the Arlington Education Foundation,” he said.

Quad Cycles will examine sellers’ bicycles on June 20, provide them with a suggested price, and let them set the price at which they want to try to sell their bike. Then, on June 21 and 22, buyers can visit Quad Cycles, look for bikes in their size and price range, and buy them from the shop that day. Sellers can choose to receive full store credit for the sale value, 75% of the sale value as a check, or to make the full sale value a donation to the Arlington Education Foundation. For sellers who choose to receive a check, 10% of the sale value will be donated to the Arlington Education Foundation. Additionally, Quad Cycles will donate its used bicycles, and 100% of those sales will be donated to the Arlington Education Foundation.
