At 6 pm on Friday, April 26, our 26th Annual Spring Swap kicks off at our Kirkwood location with a tent full of used bikes, boats, skis, snowboards, camping gear, footwear and apparel. (Plus, we have racks and racks of Alpine Shop's clearance gear in there, too, all at 20% off the already marked-down price.)

There is a $5 entry fee for Friday Night's First Choice (at the Kirkwood location only) with all proceeds going to Saint Louis BikeWorks, a terrific local organization dedicated to helping kids earn their own bikes by learning how to work on and repair used bikes.

If you're in the Columbia, Mo., area, our store right in the middle of downtown will also have Swap used goods available for sale starting at 6 pm.

Sales continue during normal store hours on Saturday and Sunday at both locations. Even if only our Kirkwood and Columbia locations have Swap events, all Alpine Shop stores, including The Pathfinder in Manhattan, Kan., have fantastic sales going on now on Featured New Products through Sunday as well.
