37 Annual Trexlertown Bicycle Swap Meet is rain or SHINE.

Joe said himself, "the bicycle hobby is dead"...maybe just in Trexlertown?

In Joe's defense, it seems like he can't catch a break with the weather. I can only think of a couple in the last several years (spring and fall) where we had no rain.

No Brant, if you going to quote someone get it right...

Copied from my Elgin twin bar for sale on deal or no deal.

"I am beginning to think this hobby is dying with such low bids."

Exact words..

If you have nothing of value to say in life, just don't say anything.

No one needs your or wants your negative attitude in life.

Thank you

You clearly do not understand how an auction works. People start low and bid in progression. YOU were the one being negative.

Let's see some pictures of your dead swap meet please.

Thank you for your comments.

The weather did kill the swap meet. The spring was a mess because of the dates, "something I do not control".

Last fall we had 115 vendors over the 2 days. The best part of the swap is we have buyers. It is not just vendor on vendor.

Trexlertown has always been a great meet.

I have asked vendors over time if they preferred 1 or 2 days. The popular vote is for 2 days. The reasons are, traveling a long way just for an eight hour Sunday Swap, or I can't always make it on that date. So this works great.

I hope this answers everyone's question why 2 days. Why are other show 2 days?

In the end. Trexlertown is not my swap meet it. It is the bicycles communities. I put a lot of effort into making the show better. I call, email and have it posted all over the internet as soon as the Fire House provides the date.

Thank you very to those who have attend and those who continue to attend.

Again Brant and his negative comments and lack of information.

I am a licensed auctioneer in the state of Massachusetts with Millions of dollars of sales in Real Estate.

That makes sense about two days vs one. I first attended in 1999 with a group of collectors from my local bike shop. Some great memories and finds at Trexlertown. Hope to make it there next year. Also, hope the cheesburgers are still as good as I remember!
