Hey, were you guys born in a barn? Well, no… most of us weren’t, but Wisconsin’s Trek Bicycles was, in a red barn, so the story goes. Trek says the Red Barn Refresh program is the cycling industry’s first manufacturer-led, bike trade-in and refurbishment program. The goal here is to make it easy to “return a used bike in exchange for store credit”.

According to Trek, the used bikes are to be traded in at any Trek store or participating Trek retailer. The bike is then returned to the Red Barn in Waterloo, Wisconsin. There it will be “expertly revitalized to meet exacting standards, certified by a professional Trek technician”.

The bike will go through a 151-point inspection process to repair and replace what’s needed. Only then will it be “certified awesome” and resold online and at TrekBikes.com . The program’s purpose is to extend the bicycle’s lifecycle and reduce its carbon footprint.

Trek Says…

From the Press Release:

“ Red Barn Refresh was dreamt up as a solution to extend the useable life of Trek’s bicycles. By giving bikes a second chance, Red Barn Refresh is extending a bike’s lifecycle, which will in turn reduce the cycling industry’s waste streams. 

The program also gives riders access to high-quality bikes at approachable price points while simultaneously providing a convenient way to trade-in quality-owned bicycles that many consumers may not know what to do with.

The program is part of Trek’s second  Sustainability Report  which outlines Trek’s goals to reduce emissions and the new ways that Trek is changing its business in order to better the planet.”

great now even second hand bikes will to expensive, and their new bikes will increase in price so as to make the overpriced second hand bike seem like a bargain, the 20k tiagra bike is coming!

Really? Creating a market of appealing new and secondhand bikes will cause all bikes to get more expensive? How? In the real world, people place the value of goods on what they’re willing to pay. Competition, supply and demand, and a growing or shrinking market is what determines price. And, BTW, have you seen the prices of used bikes these days? There’s a bargain on every block.

It’s even worse than TPC I bought a new 2022 Trek Powerfly FS 9 EQ (paid MSRP plus tax that came to $6,700). Trke’s Red Barn site valued my trade at $2300. WTH!

This tells me there’s a massive markup between BOM (bill of materials) when received from the factory in China to the showroom.

You’re kidding yourself if you think a Madone SLR 9 is anywhere worth $13,200. Probably cost no more than $3-4K to ‘build’ the bike at the factory.

Congratulations you have unlocked economics.

Very green if we don’t turn an eye toward the shipping of bikes back and forth and all the boxes, foam packaging and masking tape involved.

Thanks for taking more business off of small used bike shop’s plate, corporate overlords!

Trek bicycle announces red barn refresh: pre-loved bikes get a second life.

Supporting the circular economy, Red Barn Refresh is the cycling industry's first manufacturer- led bike trade-in & refurbishment program 

In its second Sustainability Report, Trek takes a stance against net zero claims and carbon offsets with transparent goals for GHG reductions across all three scopes

WATERLOO, Wis. , Sept. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The most environmentally friendly bike is the one you already own, closely followed by one that was owned by someone else. To extend the lifecycle of its products, reduce consumption of new materials, and cut back on waste, Trek Bicycle  proudly introduces Red Barn Refresh – the cycling industry's first-ever manufacturer-led bike trade-in and refurbishment program. Trek stores and participating Trek retailers will begin accepting the return of used Trek bicycles in exchange for in-store credit to buy a new bike later this year. The used bikes will be refurbished and sold on the brand's website, trekbikes.com. The announcement of this circular economy initiative coincides with the release of Trek's second Sustainability Report , which details the brand's commitment to a more sustainable future.

With a mission to change the world by getting more people on bikes that began in a red barn in 1976, Trek is returning to its roots in the same red barn it was born where they will receive, overhaul, and resell refurbished bicycles. Red Barn Refresh was dreamt up as a solution to extend the useable life of Trek's bicycles. All pre-owned bikes go through an exhaustive 151-point inspection process to ensure a certified awesome product and come with the same limited lifetime warranty and support as a new Trek bicycle.

"Red Barn Refresh brought us back to the red barn that started it all as we embark on the journey of reducing consumption and extending the life of these bikes, which is better for our people and the planet," said Eric Bjorling , director of brand at Trek Bicycle. "We've got a lot of plans to become a much more sustainable company, and this is Trek's effort to give really great used bikes a second chance and extend their usable life – resulting in less waste and getting more people on bikes."

Trek stores and other participating Trek retailers will accept the return of pre-loved bikes. Once a used bike is traded in, it will be returned to the red barn in Waterloo, Wisconsin where trained technicians will repair and replace what's needed before it is 'certified awesome' and resold online to people looking to score a great bike with a lower carbon footprint.

By giving bikes a second chance, Red Barn Refresh is extending a bike's lifecycle, which will in turn reduce the cycling industry's waste streams. The program also gives riders access to high-quality bikes at approachable price points while simultaneously providing a convenient way to trade-in quality owned bicycles that have been left hanging in the garage. Kids also grow, and they should have the option to have a bike that grows with them. When you buy a kids' bike at a participating location, you can bring it back and get up to 50% of the bike's original purchase price in credit toward the purchase of a new one. Qualifying kids' bikes will be resold through Red Barn Refresh or donated to a local charity.

As a manufacturer, most of Trek's environmental impact comes from the raw materials used to create products – categorized under Scope 3 emissions, which accounts for more than 95% of Trek's total emissions. Demonstrating continued commitment to sustainable business operations, Trek introduced carbon reduction goals in the 2023 report: reducing Scope 1 and 2 by 68% and Scope 3 by 30% by 2032. These carbon emission reduction targets will be completed without the use of carbon offsets. Purchasing offsets as a way of reducing a company's carbon footprint can impair the crucial work of knowing and improving business practices. When a company purchases offsets, it loses control of how that investment is used and whether it has a tangible benefit.

Trek believes in the bicycle as a tool for good and wants to make sure they can fulfill the promises made while maintaining the ability to deliver sustainable bicycles long into the future. Many organizations are making net-zero promises today without a plan to get there. The materials and information to reach net zero are not ready for Trek – and many other corporations – to act against, and any net zero claims should be met with some level of skepticism.

"You can't change what you can't see. This report transparently shows our emissions findings and evolving roadmap for the future, demonstrating real sustainable action. We hope this inspires change within, and outside of, the cycling industry," said Bjorling.

The new 2023 Sustainability Report uses baseline measurements from Trek's 2021 Sustainability Report – a first and only of its kind report from a manufacturer within the cycling industry – to track its progress towards decreasing total carbon emissions. More can be read here about Trek's efforts to reduce packaging waste, recycle e-bike batteries, and manufacture products with recycled materials.

About Trek Bicycle Trek Bicycle is a global leader in the design and manufacturing of bicycles and related products. Trek believes the bicycle can be a simple solution to many of the world's most complex problems and is committed to breaking down the barriers that prevent people from using bicycles more often for transportation, recreation, and inspiration.

Trek Bicycle’s Red Barn Refresh Program Gives A Second Life To Pre-Owned Bikes

With all of the hoopla surrounding e-bikes these days, it’s easy to forget that an even lower carbon transportation option exists, namely good old fashioned bicycles that are powered by nothing more than than muscles. And while the brand new bicycles at your local bike store are very tempting, being fresh off the factory floor and unblemished, there’s an even greener alternative, which is a used bike. However, buying a used bike ‘in the wild’ (from Craigslist or paper flyer) isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, as many people want to have a greater feeling of confidence in their new ride’s performance, and that’s where refurbished bikes come in.

For bike manufacturers, selling new bikes is the name of the game, so there isn’t a lot of incentive to refurbish and resell previously owned (used) bikes, but Trek Bicycle is leading the charge toward a more circular economy, at least when it comes to two-wheelers. Trek recently launched its Red Barn Refresh program, which it says is “the cycling industry’s first-ever manufacturer-led bike trade-in and refurbishment program,” and this initiative promises to prolong the useful life of the company’s bikes.

According to Trek, participating Trek retailers will accept the return of “pre-loved bikes,” which is what the company calls previously owned bicycles. The bikes that have been traded in through the program will be sent to Waterloo, Wisconsin, to the original red barn where Trek began building bikes back in 1976. Inside the red barn, “trained technicians will repair and replace what’s needed before it is ‘certified awesome’ and resold online to people looking to score a great bike with a lower carbon footprint.”

“Red Barn Refresh brought us back to the red barn that started it all as we embark on the journey of reducing consumption and extending the life of these bikes, which is better for our people and the planet. We’ve got a lot of plans to become a much more sustainable company, and this is Trek’s effort to give really great used bikes a second chance and extend their usable life — resulting in less waste and getting more people on bikes.” —  Eric Bjorling, director of brand at Trek Bicycle

Trek’s bike technicians put each used bike through “a thorough 151-point inspection,” and are washed, overhauled, and serviced, after which the bikes will be sold with a limited lifetime warranty and the same support as a brand new Trek bike. The Red Barn Refresh program includes road bikes, mountain bikes, city bikes, e-bikes, and kids bikes, all at a better price than new models.

“Red Barn Refresh is the only place in the world where you can get a Trek Certified pre-owned bike. These bikes bring the highest level of quality and assurance to your pre-owned purchase. Trek certified pre-owned bikes undergo a comprehensive 151-point inspection process. This includes serial number verification for authenticity, checking all service bulletins, service information, and recalls to potentially address. Next, the bike is comprehensively cleaned and serviced — replacing all worn parts that do not meet our quality and performance standards. From there, the bike is expertly tuned, then test-ridden to ensure it is in perfect operating condition. Finally, the bike is polished and packaged just for you. All of this is done by a professional Trek technician. Trek Certified pre-owned bikes carry all the same great benefits as new Trek bikes: A limited lifetime frame warranty to the new owner, a complimentary 1-year service, and a 30-day love it or return it guarantee. These are the highest quality used bikes on the market, with the best warranty, and the best experience out of the box.”

Trek is also taking steps to make it easier to keep kids on bikes that fit them with its kids’ bike trade-in (or trade up, as it were) program:

“Growth spurts happen — but they shouldn’t stop you from investing in a quality kids’ bike that will inspire a healthy hobby for life. When you buy a kids’ bike at a participating location, you can bring it back and get up to 50% of the bike’s original purchase price in credit toward the purchase of a new one.

“No good bike should sit around collecting dust, so we resell qualifying kids’ bikes through our Red Barn Refresh pre-owned bike shop or donate them to a local charity. That way your little one has a fun, comfortable, safe ride that fits, and so does someone else.”

I have to admit that I got so caught up with e-bike fever in recent years that I’ve been neglecting my non-electric bikes for a long minute, but I took my (analog/ acoustic ) mountain bike for a spin the other day and caught the bug again. While there are plenty of great use cases for e-bikes, a good old fashioned human-powered bike is still as relevant as ever, and with programs like Trek’s Red Barn Refresh, it’s easy to get a great bike at a good price, while also avoiding the environmental costs of manufacturing a bicycle out of virgin materials.

Trek Launches Used Bike Program, but Ditches Carbon Offsets and Net-Zero Pledges

With Red Barn Refresh, Trek launches what it calls the first 'manufacturer-led bike trade-in and refurbishment program' in the cycling industry.

Trek’s second-ever Sustainability Report does something exceedingly rare in the outdoor industry: It talks about what the company cannot do.

These days, many outdoor companies seem to embrace every emissions-reducing pledge or environmental buzzword — without much evidence that they’re actually helping the planet. Trek’s report contrasts starkly with that status quo, setting realistic goals for improving its sustainability while criticizing some of the industry’s most widespread strategies.

On carbon offsets ? Trek is throwing them out because they “distort reality” and “impair” the ability to improve business practices, the company said in a press release. On net-zero pledges? Many companies set those goals “without any plan to get there,” and “any net-zero claim should be met with skepticism,” the Trek report said.

Instead of those approaches, Trek has joined a long list of outdoor companies entering the resale market, from Arc’teryx to REI to Patagonia . It’s launching a new program for buying used bikes called Red Barn Refresh . Trek claims it’s the first manufacturer-led bike trade-in and refurbishment program in the cycling industry. (Spoiler alert: It won’t actually become available until later this year.)

“We occupy a planet plagued by damaging business and manufacturing practices … and we have failed to understand the true and catastrophic impact of our lifestyles,” Trek Bicycle president John Burke wrote in the report’s intro. “The consequences will affect us all.”

Trek Bicycles: Red Barn Refresh

With Red Barn Refresh, Trek hopes more consumers will choose to buy used bicycles instead of new ones.

“The most environmentally friendly bike is the one you already own, closely followed by one that was owned by someone else,” the company said in a press release.

With the refurbishment program, Trek aims to extend the lifecycle of its products, reduce consumption of new materials, and cut back on waste. Here’s how it works: Starting later this year, cyclists can trade in their used Trek bicycles at select Trek stores and participating retailers. In return, the bike owners will receive in-store credit toward a new bike.

The previously owned bikes will undergo an “exhaustive” 151-point refurbishment process. Then, they’ll be resold via Trek’s official website, trekbikes.com .

Details about where to find locations for turning in your bike — or when and where you can buy them online — were left out of Trek’s announcement. The website will likely become available later this fall, according to a spokesperson.

“Red Barn Refresh brought us back to the red barn that started it all as we embark on the journey of reducing consumption and extending the life of these bikes, which is better for our people and the planet,” Eric Bjorling, brand director at Trek Bicycle, said in the press release.

Trek’s Emissions-Reduction Plan

One thing quickly becomes clear from reading Trek’s report: The company’s leaders are trying to do more than recycle T-shirts.

For the second time, Trek tapped WAP Sustainability Consulting to assess every aspect of its business. The result is a 43-page deep dive into the company’s operations. It paints a dizzyingly complex picture of the difficulty of creating a sustainable business model.

Want to know the emissions behind every single part of four different Trek bicycles? That’s here. Are you curious about their building and infrastructure changes for reduced energy use? That’s here, too, along with plenty of facts about the company’s sustainability efforts to date.

For example, since cutting single-use plastics in 2020, the company has avoided half a million pounds of waste from its bike packaging. It’s also one of many bike companies partnering with Call2Recycle for proper disposal of e-bike batteries and selling apparel (and bike tires) made from recycled materials.

But for all its efforts, Trek is now firmly opposed to carbon offsets and net-zero pledges. Why? Because, like so many other companies, the vast majority of Trek’s emissions are “indirect” causes of its supply chain, the report said. A whopping 96.2% of all its emissions come from raw materials, transportation of those materials, business travel of employees, disposal of old products, and other sources.

To combat those emissions, Trek plans to “build with less impact” and “create products that are used longer” — hence the birth of Red Barn Refresh.

“You can’t change what you can’t see,” said Bjorling. “This report transparently shows our emissions findings and evolving roadmap for the future, demonstrating real, sustainable action. We hope this inspires change within and outside of the cycling industry.”
