Bicycle cooperative in Del Ray hosting sale on bikes next weekend

For a while, back when the pandemic had just gotten started, there was a rush on bikes.

In case you were one of those who didn’t get your bike at that time, here’s a new opportunity: the Velocity Bicycle Co-op (2111 Mount Vernon Avenue) is hosting one of its monthly sales next weekend.

The Del Ray-based cooperative is volunteer-run and offers education programs for the community. Velocity Bicycle Co-op has bicycle sales on the third Saturday of every month.

The next one is on Saturday, Aug. 19, from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. at the warehouse behind 1502 Mount Vernon Avenue.

The sale offers as-is bikes, parts and accessories, with bicycles ranging from city bikes and beach cruisers to kids bikes and mountain bikes. The co-op also has trailers, car racks and more.

For those with a new bike, there’s some more good news: over the summer, Alexandria installed hundreds of new bicycle racks around Del Ray, Old Town, and other spots throughout the city.
