Not sure which Thule, Yakima, Rocky Mounts, or Saris rack or accessory is right for your needs? Just ask! We are Central Vermont’s largest rack retailers and we can help you find rack solutions to make your upcoming trip even more fun! Bring your bikes – easily load and unload your kayaks – make some room inside the car with a cargo box! What could be better than getting the right rack that fits your car, locks, and is easy to use AT 20% OFF? I guess getting all that and then going on vacation….

Vacation season is almost here, get ready this weekend with our Car Rack Sale, 20% off of in-stock racks and 10% off of cargo boxes and we’ll install it for FREE this Saturday or Sunday – just call us at 802-229-9409 to reserve your time and your rack!

The Bike Swap is May 4!

April 25, 2013

The Bike Swap, Saturday, May 4 from 9am until noon


Bring in your bike beginning Monday, April 29 thru Friday, May 3

Dig your old bikes out of the garage, basement, shed, or yard, get them all cleaned up, and bring them to Onion River Sports for our Annual Bike Swap! We begin accepting bikes Monday, April 29 when we open at 9am and close the doors to Swapped bikes at 8pm on Friday, May 3.  In the mean time, there are a lot of things you can do to get your bike ready:  brush off the cobwebs or dirt, put some air in the tires, shine up that bicycle, lube the chain. A clean, shiny bicycle is more likely to sell for the price you want!

We also accept used trailers, tag-a-longs, unicycles and jogging strollers, so there are plenty of opportunities to swap your quality used gear for a check or store credit.

If your bike sells you get either:

80% of the selling price as a check

100% of the selling price in store credit
110% of the selling price in store credit towards the purchase of a new bike within one week of the Swap (until May 12th)!
Please, try not to call the store between 9am and 12pm to see if your bike has sold – our staff is busy selling your bike! This is a very busy morning at ORS and most likely, our staff will be unable to check on the sale of your specific bicycle. If you would like to know, you are welcome to come to the Swap to see if your bike has sold or wait until after 12pm to call us. Thanks for understanding!

If you’re buying a bike (or bikes):

Swap starts at 9:00 am (the line usually starts forming at 8:00am or earlier) and you’ll get great deals on used bikes!  We’ll also have bicycle Odds and Ends at terrific deals! Show up early, the good ones go first - the Swap ends at 12:00 pm!

We will have hundreds of used bikes–and most of our staff–in the Onion River Sports’ parking lot to help you find the perfect new-to-you bike for you and your family.

If your bike does NOT sell at the Bike Swap, you are responsible for picking it up at Onion River Sports on Sunday, May 5 between 11am and 4pm. If you do not pick up your bike, we’ll donate it for you to a great local organization that helps get kids on bikes.
