Bay Area CA bike swaps which one are you going to?

I see one is happening in San Jose and one happening in El Sobrante.

They want a 50$ fee for a 10x10 space...I hope I can get past that somehow...I'd be happy to pay a fee but I need to sell some goods first...

Bring money and buy from me I'm reasonable in prices.

If I am not mistaken, the one in San Jose is charging $20 for a space, and have a 50% discount if you are in costume: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/bik/1434113996.html

I wonder if a lycra jersey could pass as a costume.....

Is there a main website for that lists and organizes the swap meet or is this more of a self-advertised thing? It sounds interesting, I'd like to visit and shop

P.S. lol @ pic of the woman on the bike. Looks like Pamela Anderson.

Google "The Pedaler" for the El Sobrante swap.

SoreFeet:

Contact member Curbtender. Maybe he'll split a space with you.

Cupertino Bike shop has one in the spring. Keep an eye out for that one. I got a couple of old bikes and a lot of parts.

I just got home from the El Sobrante swap. I bought a pair of Specialized Nimbus 700 X 38 tires for $5 and a chrome 27" fork for $10. I wonder if that was Sorefeet that I bought the fork from? If so, I think he looks a bit like Frank Zappa.
