Wheeling Bikes to the Bellingham Community with Shifting Gears' Annual Bike Swap @ Boundary Bay Brewery Alley and Beer Garden

Shifting Gears, a local non-profit in Bellingham, is hosting its sixth annual Bellingham Bike Swap on Sunday, June 29, 2025, in the Boundary Bay Brewery Alley and Beer Garden in Downtown Bellingham.

The Bellingham Bike Swap allows the Bellingham community to purchase pre-owned bikes or gear at a lower cost, enabling them to experience the joys and benefits of biking. The Bellingham Bike Swap is a space for community members to sell, shop and celebrate the outdoor community. Twenty-five percent of each sale will assist the funding of Shifting Gears biking and hiking programs that help break barriers preventing all women from experiencing the outdoors and creating a more inclusive outdoor world.

The event will take place on Sunday, June 29th, at the Boundary Bay Beer Garden. Those looking to sell gear can drop off items between 7:30 am and 10 am before everyone is welcome to ‘Shop the Swap’ from 1pm to 5pm. Unsold gear and checks can be picked up by ‘sellers’ between 6pm and 7pm at the end of the day.

Sensory Workshop w/ Northwest Natura: Tree and Flower Identification @ Private Land
Aug 2 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Sensory Workshop w/ Northwest Natura: Tree and Flower Identification @ Private Land

Come take a walk in a beautiful forest to identify trees and flowers by not only their features, but they’re textures and aromas. You do not need your vision to get to know the trees and flowers, as you’ll find in this unique course led by Salish Sea Naturalist and botanist, Jazmen Yoder.

In this sensory-focused course we’ll spend the day immersed in riverside habitat with our feet in the cool waters of Boulder Creek while we identify different flowers and trees by their unique effects on our senses.

If you are looking for a mental health day this one is designed to be slow-paced and meditative.

If you are vision impaired, this is a great class to come to but please beware that the forest has uneven ground. Jazmen can assist you if necessary. Inform Norhwest Natura of special needs or requests.
