Is there going to be any type of bicycle swap meet?...

 

[Lheffe]

I have never personally seen a bike swap meet at any Tour de Fat festival.
However, the following non-profit bike groups will be representing themselves.

Tempe Bicycle Action Group (TBAG) These are the folks that organize and manage the Tempe TdF event

Bike Saviours

Ok then this must be a different event then i remember. someone used to have a bicycle swapmeet in tempe years ago. thought this may be the same group..

This should be a fun event. It is sad that Phoenix area is as big as it is and there are NO bike swap meets or anything fun like that on a regular basis. If we could all get together and have a few of these a year..or once a month we could stop using EBAY and everyone would find some good parts without the crazy prices and FREIGHT charges.

I'm all loaded up! See you at the tour!

Tempe Bicycle used to hold swap meets maybe twice a year (?) in the parking lot of their old building on the North side of University. They didn't do much to promote it though. Tempe Bicycle would put a lot of their old stock out and sell it super cheap and then people could set up tables too. If I weren't so lazy, I'd call and ask if they still do that.

Edit: it looks like these guys had one at the first part of the year, so maybe they'll do it again??

The Tempe Tour De Drink was a good time. Or at least the Bike Parade was fun. I dont drink and I had my 4 year old so we rode in the parade..saw some very nice bikes and had a blast. We need more events geared around people trading and selling and getting together to talk bikes in person.

The event was great.
