Thanks to all those who came out and participated in the 13th annual CAzBike Swap Meet that was held last Saturday at the Phoenix Municipal Stadium. The weather was great, a picture-perfect mid-March Arizona morning. About 100 vendors, and several hundred swappers came out to find a great deal on bikes, parts, and anything else. The Coalition sponsors the event as a service to the bicycling community;
there are no fees for buyers or sellers. The event was organized, manned, and run by Bob Jensen and Peter Mather — thanks guys for a great meet! Hope to see you in 2012. Be sure and sign up on our email list in order to receive annoucements for future events.
