Swap meets are a great way to locate that missing part for your favorite old bike. There will be bicycles, bicycle parts, and literature for sale or trade. Advance registration is required for the Swap Meet- $35 for businesses or $20 for private individuals for each 10X10 space. So, here's a chance to clean out the bike room of all the old Zeus, misc. Campy bits, the old frame set or two...

Manufacturers will demonstrate the latest in bicycle technology. Local advocacy groups will teach you everything from how to fix a flat tire, to what to look for in order to keep your bicycle safe and fun to use. The Ted Wojcik Trials Bike Riders will be on hand for a special demonstration. From learning where to mountain bike to finding out about bicycle touring, there will be something for everyone!
