Aspen, Colorado – May 18, 2021 – The City of Aspen Police Department will host its annual bike auction on June 1, 2021, outside of the police station at 540 E. Main Street, Aspen, Colorado. Attendees can place their bids for the bike of their choice against others in the audience. The auction will take place in person.
Bikes up for auction have been abandoned and left around town this past year. A preview of the items will begin at 10 a.m. and bidding will begin at 11 a.m. Nearly 100 bikes will be available for bidding.
The auction is also an opportunity to learn about City of Aspen bike transit options, as well as register bikes. Bikes that are registered with the Aspen Police Department are reunited with their owners if they are lost and then recovered by the City of Aspen.
The Bike Auction will be live and in person. In case of inclement weather, the auction will be relocated to the Aspen Police Department's garage located off Rio Grande Place in Aspen.
