ADFC Bike Exchange: May 3rd at the Slaughterhouse

Wide range of second-hand wheels for young and old

WIESBADEN, 01.05.2025 | On Saturday, 3 May, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the large market for used wheels will take place for the second time in the Kulturpark – parallel to the legendary slaughterhouse flea market. The bicycle club ADFC is with an information stand on site and also offers bicycle coding for a fee of 15 euros to protect bicycles against theft.

On the bicycle exchange a diverse range of used bicycles and accessories around the bike meets interested buyers. “The choice is great, there are also many bicycles for children and young people. Of course, you can try out the bikes directly and some of them are also traded neatly and professionally," says Karoline Deißner from the ADFC. ‘We offer this service so that everyone can afford a suitable bike and be well on two wheels.’ In order to make trading as easy as possible for all parties involved, there are no stand fees at the bicycle exchange. ‘You can simply come by and offer bicycles or accessories – and, above all, of course, buy the right “new” vehicle from the wide range.’

New place in the cultural park

The event is organized by the Wiesbaden Bicycle Club in cooperation with the ADFC Mainz-Bingen. The event moved in 2025: so far, the bicycle exchange had taken place three times a year on Wiesbaden's station forecourt. Through the cooperation with ‘Kultur im Park’ and the changed location at the slaughterhouse flea market, the organisers want to address new target groups.

Shopping and exchange for cycling enthusiasts

"The new location with its colourful flea market atmosphere and attractive supporting programme worked very well as early as 5 April", says the ADFC. “Now we would like to make the bicycle exchange more popular in order to make it easier for the people of Wiesbaden to find the right used bike. In addition, the cycling exchange is a great place for exchanges among cycling enthusiasts.”
