Since we opened for the 2010 biking season on March 20 the Exchange has sold over 1200 bikes and raised a net of $49,555 for the after school programs of the Trenton Boys & Girls Club.

The Bike Exchange has a large selection of good quality, low cost used bikes for all bike riders, 3 years to 100 years old, from occasional weekend rider to serious road rider.  All bikes are reconditioned and are ready to ride.  You can ride the bike before you purchase.

The Exchange is located in the Capitol Plaza Shopping Center at 1500 N. Olden Avenue in Ewing, NJ, (near Lawrenceville and Trenton) and is open on Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m, and Thursdays from 5:00Pm to 8:00PM.

The Boys & Girls Club Bike Exchange is a non-profit used bicycle store in Ewing, in Mercer County near Trenton and Lawrenceville.  Our missions are

1. to provide a source of low cost quality bikes for families and individuals in Mercer County, NJ, and Bucks County, PA
2. to raise money for the Boys & Girls Club of Trenton & Mercer County

The Exchange accepts donated bikes which are reconditioned and sold by volunteers from the Princeton Free Wheelers bike club.

All individuals working at the Exchange are volunteers. Use of the retail space for the Exchange in the Capitol Plaza has been donated by Levin Management Corporation. As a result, virtually all money received from the sale of bikes goes to help support the Boys & Girls Club's after-school programs.

The mission of the Boys & Girls Club is to inspire and enable young people, especially those in disadvantaged situations, to realize their full potential as productive, responsive and caring citizens.
