Bicycle Bazaar
Saturday, April 6, 2024
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM


Join Free Cycles and friends on Saturday, April 6th from 10am to 5pm for 
our Annual Bicycle Bazaar! The Bicycle Bazaar is a flea market style 
community cycling event designed for bicycle novices, enthusiasts, 
sellers, buyers, and curious neighbors alike. This event is focused on 
getting more people riding bikes while raising funds for Free Cycles.

People seeking a new ride will have options to purchase refurbished 
bikes from Free Cycles or the community. There will be a wide array of 
bicycles of all styles, sizes, and prices. Project bikes from the 
warehouse will be over half off! Project bikes can be defined as cycles 
that need repairs before they are ready to ride. $10 instead of our 
typical $30! Must take with you upon sale.

Free helmets, free bikes for kids ten and under, and other bicycle 
resources available.

In addition to the sale, there will be various community related bicycle 
resources and activities planned throughout the day!

To name a few:

Mashup Cycles will be leading a brazing demonstration showcasing brazing 
mounts for disc brakes on older style cycles.

Missoula Outdoor Learning Adventures will be present with family 
friendly games and helping fit kids of all ages with free bike helmets!

Mountain Line’s demo bike rack will be on-site available for anyone who 
wants to practice unloading or loading their bicycle on the Mountain 
Line bus racks.

Missoula Bike Polo will have more information about their club and will 
host a game on-site.

People can meet Slow Spokes who will be present with a bike-packing set 
up and to let people know more information about their newly formed 
group!

Zootown Ebike Club will be present with an example of an electric 
bicycle conversion and to talk to people who ebike or interested in 
ebiking.
