The New Paltz Bike Swap is Saturday May 14th at the New Paltz Middle School in New Paltz NY from 10 AM to 2 PM.

This is the biggest fund raiser for our bike club. It helps us pay for things like trail building tools, food at club events and trail work days, donations to land managers who support mountain biking, and bikes for kids during the holidays.

You can help out in two ways:
1) Show up and buy and sell your bikes and bike parts.
2) Volunteer to help during the event. Contact Pete at embracexs at yahoo if you can devote some valuable time at the event.

See you at the swap!

>>>>>>>

our 9th year and we expect several hundred attendees and dozens of vendors. There will be bikes, bike parts, apparel and more on sale. Last year we sold dozens and dozens of bikes including mountain, road, vintage, fixies, trials, kids and cruisers. There are many tables of bike parts and bike stuff for sale and you never know what bikey stuff you will find.

This year: FOOD TRUCK and MC!

It is *FREE* entry and open to the public. Check our website for all the details at www.newpaltzbikeswap.com. Or see tons of photos on Facebook (search for New Paltz Bike Swap).

Come with items to sell. You can turn new or used bikes or parts into cash or trade with others. The club gets 20% of items sold as a donation so please mark your items accordingly. Vendor check in starts at 9 AM.

The event is a fund raiser for a local not-for-profit the Fats in the Cats Bike Club. It's the main way this group generates funds to support cycling advocacy and trails in the Hudson Valley.

Doors open from 10 to 2 PM. Come out and see what treasures you can buy or sell. Come early for the best selection.

Amazing event!

We sold 224 bikes this year, and got hundreds of people out riding again. Kids got new strider bikes. Grownups got their first bike in 45 years. There were 5 unicycles, push bikes and even a T. Rex.

Thanks to all the volunteers. You made this event happen. The amazing crew wrenched on 75 donation bikes that sold at the swap. And they gave the club and community their time. In return our club is funded for another year to promote cycling advocacy, trail building, and for getting kids and adults on bikes. Thank you one and all!
