Get your sleeping bags ready.

This Sunday, October 4 from 10:30am – 1:30pm, MEC Vancouver is having one of their semi-annual Gear Swaps. The swap takes place on the roof-top parking lot and is always a great place to score some cheap gear. As such, it is always super busy, and the hard-core will camp out overnight to get in line.

The address is:

130 West Broadway
Vancouver, British Columbia
604.872.7858

If you have some gear you’d like to sell bring it to the store Saturday or Sunday or contact vangearswap@mec.ca

If you can’t make it, there is always MEC’s online gear swap.

Happy hunting!

If Bike to Work Week got you interested in getting a bike, or you’re looking to swap existing gear, you should head out the the NSMBA Vancouver Bike & Gear Swap this weekend.

Whether you are new to the sport of cycling or a veteran rider, you don’t have to spend a small fortune on quality bikes, equipment, and clothing.

Check out this year’s NSMBA Vancouver Bike Swap on May 23 & 24 at the Jaycee House located at 1251 Lillooet Road, North Vancouver (just past the entrance to Capilano University).

Bring in any and all cycling equipment from all cycling disciplines, bikes, frames, clothing, shoes, parts, rollers, trainers etc. You clear it out and we will help you sell it!

Sell that bike that no longer “turns your crank” and find one that does, or swap that cycling jersey that doesn’t quite fit anymore for something different. The NSMBA Gear Swap is THE place to outfit the whole family for a new season of mountain biking with quality used bikes, clothing and equipment all in one stop.

Looking for great deals on used bikes and equipment? The NSMBA Gear Swap will be open to purchase gear during the following hours:

* Saturday, May 23, 2009 ~ 10am -4pm
* Sunday, May 24, 2009 ~ 10am – 3pm
