I was wondering if there are any locals from San Francisco or around here that knows any Flea Markets or swap meets that I can get a roadbike. I went to this one on Alemany on a Sunday but didn't have any bikes. Anyone know any flea markets around here with the days and times it usually happens?

Why, did someone steal your bike?
There is a flea market at the Oakland Coliseum which is a hit or miss. Usually when somebody is looking for their stolen bike it shows up there.

Be wary of the Coliseum swap meet. Only shop there if you're ok with buying someone else's stolen bike. Last time I was there I saw two fairly nice Bianchi's (Shimano 105 components, etc.) and a nice Cannondale with the remains of an Ultegra group. It's a damn shame seeing bikes end up like that.

Also try the Laney College flea market in oakland by lake merrit. i haven't been there for years but it was always a pretty big one and a likely spot to find your stolen stuff. Also try the one in Berkeley at Ashby/MLK. Googling will surely turn up others.
