Young Bike Riders Swap
Saturday, May 12: 8AM – 5PM
Sunday, May 13: 11AM – 3PM
The Young Riders Bike Swap serves a couple of different purposes. For some, it’s to snag a bike. For others, it’s to get rid of all the old equipment in our garages. Proceeds raised help fund the Young Riders organization, which was “founded in 1996 as a way to keep kids happy and healthy when the snow melts.” Happening at The YARD, 1251 Kearns Blvd. May is National Bike Month and Park City has a plethora of ways for you to enjoy it!
