Colorado’s biggest bike sale returns November 1 with deals, demos, and community vibes
DENVER, Colorado — Bargain hunters, collectors, and casual riders alike will converge once again at the National Western Complex on November 1 as VeloSwap celebrates its 33rd year as Colorado’s largest bicycle expo. The one-day event, organized by Bicycle Colorado, brings together more than 250 local and national vendors offering everything from high-end road frames and mountain bike components to vintage finds and one-off curiosities.
For many riders, VeloSwap marks the unofficial end of the cycling season—a final chance to score gear, connect with fellow enthusiasts, and swap stories before winter sets in. “VeloSwap is more than a sale—it’s a celebration of Colorado’s bike culture,” says Pete Piccolo, Executive Director of Bicycle Colorado. “Every dollar raised helps us make riding safer and more accessible statewide.”
This year’s lineup features well-known names like CatEye, Feedback Sports, Tailwind Nutrition, Green Guru, and The Ride Collective, alongside community mainstays such as Denver Century Ride and ProVelo Bicycles. Families can enjoy a kids’ zone with a bike rodeo and face painting from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., while curious competitors can test their speed at the International Bicycle Flat Tire World Series from 11 a.m. to noon.
Doors open at 8:30 a.m. for Bicycle Colorado members and at 9:00 a.m. for the general public. Tickets will be available online and at the door. Whether you’re after a new ride, a replacement derailleur, or just the nostalgia of an indoor swap meet packed with two-wheeled treasures, VeloSwap remains one of the region’s most beloved cycling traditions.
