Don't know anything about it, but there's a pretty large bike swap in Arlington Heights tomorrow.

The 27th annual Arlington Heights Bike Club’s annual bike swap will be held this year on April 28th. There are typically on the order of 900 or more bikes and parts for sale. Many are used. A few local bike shops also sell bikes which are the previous year’s models for a good price. They can do that since they are offered without a warranty.
The bike swap lets people price their own bikes and drop them off. The club acts as a middle man in the transaction and keeps 10% of the cost. This is the major fundraiser for the club. Parents can buy a new bike for their kids every year for $30-$50 and sell last years purchase as well.
In previous years there have been between 20 and 50 unclaimed bikes at the end of the event. Those have ended up at the Working Bikes drop off point in Arlington Heights. Previous years the swap lasted two days but for this year it will only be one day.
The 2007 Bike Swap will be held April 28th at Centennial Park.
