Swap your bike and ride safely while supporting Scouts

On Saturday April 30 from 10am-4pm, we will be conducting a Bike Swap and Rodeo

BIKE SWAP (April 30 from 10am-4pm)- Have you or your child outgrown your bike? If so, bring your bike(s) down to the Constantine Arena (near the RMC pool, beside the Kingston Military Community Sports Complex - off Hwy 2 on Duty Drive) and we'll try to exchange your bike with someone else's bike that will fit you better. We'll have professionals on hand to properly size your bike and adjust your helmet.

CONSIGNMENT SALES (April 29, 4-7pm drop-off time): Do you or your neighbours want to get rid of some extra bikes taking up space in your garage, shed or basement? If so, drop the bikes down at the Constantine Arena from 4-7pm on Friday April 29 - and we will try to sell them on a consignment basis. Be prepared to reclaim your bike between 4pm and 6pm on April 30 if unsold - or it will be donated/ recycled. For details on consignment sales, contact Dave Cunningham at 613-384-8973 or at dave.cunningham@sympatico.ca.

BIKE DONATIONS - Loyalist Area will accept donations of clean, working bikes that can be sold during the event. To donate bikes, please contact Bill Racz at 613-389-0694, or raczw@queensu.ca.

BIKE RODEO - After registering, you will receive a passport which will guide you through all the basics of cycling. It will take about an hour to circulate around and complete all the tasks. You must have a bicycle and helmet to participate. Cub-Scouts will meet all of the requirements to be awarded the Cyclist Badge by the end of the Rodeo, but it is open to all age levels!!. The rodeo will be conducted at 11am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm. (Time may run longer or shorter depending upon number of participants).

The cost is $2 per person or $5 per family. Dress for the weather- we will operate rain or shine. Please wear your activity t-shirt and necker. Full uniform optional.

Food and drinks will be available for purchase on site (Hot dogs, Hamburgers, chips, drinks etc).

This event it open to the Public, so it is a great chance to have fun, get a "new to you" bike, learn about cycling, and expose your friends to Scouting.
