Cycle Exchange Program
Mature with Meridian Cycles
A trade-in program for youth bikes
It’s a fact of cycling that kids quickly outgrow bikes.
But we’re here to help! Meridian Cycles offers a trade-in program for youth bikes. Trade in your used youth bike bought from Meridian Cycles, and you’ll receive a discount toward the purchase of a new bicycle for your growing rider. The Cycle Exchange ensures that your child always has a set of wheels that’s the appropriate size and saves you cash, also avoiding simply throwing away used bicycles and encouraging shopping locally. We think it’s a win-win!
