Here's a quote from the Velospwap.com page:

We are sorry to announce that the San Francisco VeloSwap has been canceled. We thank all vendors and consumers that have supported the event in the past.

The Denver event in October is still on.

What a bummer. I had fun at last year's event in SF. :(

Anyone know of another big Norcal swap meet that is a good substitute?

Well in that case... how about including a swapmeet at the picnic in GGP that Pete was planning?
I'm sure between all the NorCal folks and maybe announcing it on Craigslist, we could have quite
a number of folks bringing their stuff to sell/swap?

Not really a substitute, but Trailhead Cyclery in San Jose usually has one at the end of October. Otherwise, you'll have to wait until April for the Cupertino Bike Swap.
