The Mill Valley swap is not he same as the Trips for kids swap- different dates, different orgs, different prices , different crowd.

The Mill Valley Swap is May 21 and at the strawberry field school. This one is generally less of a hassle for vendors to deal with, and cheaper. Lots of individuals and some small bike shops throw a blanket on the ground and buy trade and sell all sorts of bike parts.

TFK is June 24-25 at Mill Valley middle school. This one is 'big'- with big entry fees and tax collected and a % of your sales must go to the many headed Hydra of TFK. But there are bargains to be had from the Mikes bikes and the bigger shops that set up mini trade show booths, as well as big bike cos such as Bell sports and WTB who sell stuff too.

There is a swap in the east bay that the Pedelar puts on 2x a year. The next one is Sunday April 3rd. It's small like the Mill valley swap and has lots of stuff to pick through.

When is the Cupertino swap? Are there any other bay area swaps in the near future?
