Used bicycle fair in Graz, Austria

„Find new a happiness with a new bike”. That’s the slogan of the „used bike fair” in Graz. It takes place every year in April right before the bike season starts. There, the bike and every aspect of cycling is in focus for 2 days. The main part is a fair where owners can sell old but still roadworthy bikes. The sold bikes are checked for safety before the new owners take them home. With the help of this project people earn money with their old idle bikes and other people are glad about a new ride for small price.
