THE WHEELY FUN CLUB NEWS!

The 2024 AGM & Social PLUS—Bike & Gear Swap: Thursday November 21, 2024

It’s our 2024 AGM & Social Festivity PLUS new for this year’s AGM—our first ever Bike & Gear Swap!

Reconnect with friends you’ve made over the past year of NHCC activities and help us celebrate a successful 2024 season! We start of the evening with 2025 membership renewals for a one-night-only rate of $35, plus you can check out our new (hopefully annual) Bike & Gear Swap. We’ll conduct a little legally required “official” business where we elect Directors for next year, and delve a bit into plans for off-season activities and also next year’s cycling season. All NHCC members & their guests are welcome.

NEW—NHCC Bike & Gear Swap!

Looking to sell, buy or trade a bike? Got some surplus cycling gear that you could sell/trade? Let’s make our first ever Bike & Gear Swap a success. It’s simple—just bring your cycling related gear to the AGM where we will provide table space, or floor space/bike for bicycles that members can browse and potentially buy/trade! Make sure your items have a tag or label identifying it’s yours so that people know who to pay.  Including your price is helpful! Tables will be set up for placement of items and all sales & payments are handled between individuals directly, so bring a little cash or be prepared to e-transfer should you find something you want!  Big or small, it doesn’t matter—bikes, cycling wear, tubes, tires, you name it!   Note: please advise us if you plan to bring a bicycle so we can ensure a bike stand is available (text Randy: 905-376-8696)
