Mercer County Bike Drive

Saturday April 9, 2022
12:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Do you have a bike that you no longer use? Maybe you have one that your child has outgrown? Mercer County and the Park Commission are hosting a Bike Drive at several locations throughout the county. We will take your old bikes – no matter the condition – and give them to the Trenton Bike Exchange, a volunteer organization that collects, repairs, and sells used bikes at a very low price.

The mission of the Bike Exchange is to help low-income families get decent bikes and to raise money for our local Boys and Girls Club. Besides having the satisfaction of knowing your old bike will be refurbished and put to good use, your donation is tax-deductible.

Rain Date: April 16
