We prefer to accept bikes from the past 10 years or newer but can make exceptions based on the quality and remaining life of the bike.

Most importantly, the bike must be in good condition and functional. If the bike requires maintenance or repair, we will deduct the cost of the repair, replacement and service from the value of the trade-in.

Note that all the proprietary accessories necessary for the proper functioning of the bike must be included (Electronic battery chargers, seatpost clamps, TT risers and spacers, axles, etc). Receive more on trade-in values ​​for mountain bikes accompanied with a recent proof of suspension maintenance (less than 3 months). E-bikes must be accompanied by a battery and motor diagnosis from a recognized dealer.

Trading your bike for Cycling Avenue credit is best when you’re interested in purchasing a refurbished bike from Cycling Avenue’s website in the near future.

It’s advantageous to choose this option because it allows you to pay fewer taxes (and ultimately reap big savings!) on your future purchase.

How? Let’s look at an example.

If you trade-in a bike valued at $1,000 and would like to purchase a bike from Cycling Avenue valued at $2,000, the balance left to pay on your new bike is $1,000. Note that you're only required to pay taxes on the $1,000 balance. So, if you’re in Quebec paying a 14.975% tax rate, you’ll only pay $149.75 in taxes, as opposed to $299.50.

We told you so: BIG savings!

Please note that the entire credit amount must be used within the same purchase, must be used on a purchase of greater value than the credit and is not refundable.

As of now, home pick-up is only available in the Greater Montreal Area. The good news is that we’ll be extending this service to other part of the country soon. Stay tuned!

Cycling Avenue Store Credit: The Cycling Avenue Store Credit does not have an expiration date. Please note that the entire credit amount must be used within the same purchase.

Partner Bike Shop In-Store Credit: Typically, our partners do not expire their credits. However, to be sure, we always recommend checking directly with the partner bike shop you’re trading with, as is it possible that they’ve added a short-term promotion to the credit as well.
