Mark your calendar for the HUGE bike sale in Apple Valley, May 13th!  

UPDATE: The date for this year is Saturday, May 13, 2023!

Yes you read that correctly, Rick Anderson’s 15th annual bike sale is claiming to be the worlds largest bike sale.  Of course that would be difficult to dispute but either way it’s HUGE!  The 15th annual event takes place Saturday, May 13, 2023 and with over 300 bikes, there really is something for everyone or quite close to it!  It’s important to note the date as it’s usually been in June, so a little earlier this year. 

This isn’t just any bike sale, this bike sale benefits two non-profit groups and Rick proudly mentions that 100% of net proceeds of the sale is given to Kids ‘n Kinship and DARTS.

The only thing they reimburse themselves for are parts and cleaning supplies. They are very big on using recycled parts but sometimes need to buy tires, tubes and kickstands. The total expense is usually less than 5% of receipts.  

Now for the important details, the sales takes place from 12-4 on May 13th.  The sale is held at the Superior Service Center, 14580 Glenda Dr, Apple Valley.  Plus knowing the sale benefits some great organizations and then with most bikes priced $30-$300, approximately half of original prices, so what reason is there not to go?

Now with all of those details, it’s important to mention if you have a bike collecting dust or maybe you have access to some extra storage space or just maybe you know how to fix bikes. 

Yes all of these things are needed for sales like this to happen each year.  As they say “It takes a village”.  Please reach out if you can assist in any way, Rick and his crew would love to connect with you!
