    • If you’ve got a few things to sell, it might be worth sharing a space with someone and splitting the costs.

    20×20 space = $30 per space donation
    10×20 space = $15 per space donation
    10×10 space = $10 per space donation
    6 foot table = $15 per table

    All proceeds benefit the SFBC. Trips for Kids will also be collecting bicycle donations. There will also be workshops and a raffle.

    • Wow, Wow and Wow, the bike swap over the weekend in Oakland was a success. I really like the spot at Mosswood Park. Sellers got to set up their stuff in the amphitheater with paved concrete steps, very nice I tell you, clean and no dirt like on the grass. It also set in the semi shade under big trees. There were many different type of bike stuff there, pretty much everything was being sold and trade.The atmosphere was really fun and friendly too, about 1/3 the size of Dolores Park Swap meet so you tend to run into people you know and old friends. I like it, and I would go again next time if they have a swap meet there.

    • Apparently the EB is in an uproar over our successful little bike swap held in SF just weeks ago. They’ve called in UNT and are organizing one of their very own. Rumor has it, several people will be hosting grammar symposiums. I cans benefits frum summa dis.

    Anyhow, without further adieu:

    Mosswood Park, Oakland

    High Noon

    For those of you who live in the city and have reservations about venturing across the bay, I have been assured that Oakland is relatively safe. But as a precaution, I have posted this video on personal safety:

    A big “thank you” to CZ pal Clare for getting this together! It was a great day to see friends, sell some stuff, buy more stuff and get sunburned. I was able to pick up a set of 1960′s Stronglight 49D track cranks and a few bits and such. Nathan, fresh back from the crash also unveiled the new design of the “I Crash SF” shirt which should be available soon from the store. What’s more? Brian made it out on a bike. A first since he went down hard earlier this year! Good time for all- as evidenced by this Craigslist post:

    • Erik emailed me this last Sunday to see if I was down to drive to the swap meet. I was glad I made it down there. Probably one of the best swap meets in the Bay Area. The energy was at full force. There was tons of bike stuff that would make any enthusiast’s jaw Drop- from road racing, to track racing, to dirt riding, to BMX to folder or even cargo bike. There were lines of people around the block to get in- we had to wait in line for thirty minutes. I definitely felt it has gotten much better than when I was there for the first time in 2005.
