Hi Folks. VeloSwap is a fund raiser the the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, which over the last fifteen years has done a remarkable job addressing the needs of urban cyclist in San Francisco. This organization is the reason I was able to sell my car and become a bicycle commuter, which improved my life allot. Ten bucks for all the good work this organization was done over the years well worth it. Let's not worry about the ten dollars, and just enjoy the show.
Tom Harriman.
