Bicycle Swappy Swap!
3rd Annual BSS
Bring your stuff, preferably bicycle stuff to the parking lot(s) behind the shop for a free-for-all bicycle swap extravaganza. There will be lots of stuff to be swapped, bought and sold.
Parking
Please park anywhere but in the lots behind our store. There is plenty of parking on 12th and on Elati. There will be no parking regulations for July 4th.
Park where the arrow is:
What to Expect
Last year there were track bikes, mountain bikes, wheels, road bikes, cruisers, loads of clothing and pie. Yes PIE! For charity.
What to Bring (and take)
Bring: Your stuff to swap, sunscreen, water, money, a smile.
Many people last year brought tents and food. They seemed to have a better time than the other people.
Take: A fun way to start your holiday, some sweet bicycle stuff home
How to Help
Tell your friends. Tell your friends to tell their friends. It starts at 9 a.m. and ends around 2 or 3 p.m. when it gets hot. Then, you are free to celebrate July 4th however you like.
Craig says:
Maybe you could make it a Bike Show as well as the swap. I’m sure there are a lot of cool bikes stuck away that people would like to share. Maybe that old cruiser, or that cool Fixie conversion, or that 70s ten speed that your Dad had and it’s got 100 miles on it, or that $8000 carbon Tandem. It might broaden your market, and draw a bigger crowd. No prizes, just show and tell. Might be too late for this year, but maybe next, or just a Bike show event, all by itself.
Thanks, Craig
