Wethersfield, CT Bicycle Swap / Show / Festival, JUNE 11th

[Tom B/Bike Karma Podcast]

This is our fourth Annual Event...
Seller Spaces are $25, which goes to the WHS Bicycle Club

All makes, years, styles, everything good that is bicycle.
This year trying to include a small bicycle rodeo for kids, there are other family activities.

Besides the normal crowd, you'll have a lot of families and first timers. Good chance to sell accessories and entry collectors stuff, as well.

Hope to see you there. RSVP is helpful for our planning, but not binding nor required.

Share on Facebook here... (Expect maybe between 120-320 (maybe more it grows each year) folks not all of which will show up on facebook.) I do all I can to get you the most foot traffic possible. Please help spread the word and share...

Sleep a little later, easy unload and reload. Folks from Boston, Rhode Island, and Upstate New York have come...

If you can't come, please share. We aren't competing with any shows, we just want one in our backyard once a year. Come and promote your show too. The more shows in the calendar, the healthier the hobby.

Last night some folks were going to donate what they thought were not valuable bikes to the club for the swap meet. While we appreciate the donation, felt compelled to tell them they had a few hundred dollars worth maybe more, and just fyi it might be worth it to do some more research and get a space at the swap. So that is their plan. Here are a couple (not all) of their bikes that they plan to bring... a skip tooth tricycle, a Viking with amazingly good condition pinstriped original rims, a workman folding... not all the rest shown.

Just one example of some of the stuff that may show up this year.

We are expecting a couple of hundred people at least.

You do not need to RSVP, if you are on the fence, but it helps us to plan...

I think I will be going and teaching interested people to ride a high wheel again this year.

Hopefully all this good press will result in more foot traffic for everyone. Also made it into a top 80 Free Things to do list. (but remember sellers get there for 7am)
