Today I wanted to share with you a photo report filed by Ari Andonopoulos. He attended the recent Chicago bicycle swap meet which saw great attendance. I've got several images from Ari here and a bit of a report from him as well. I will also add comments at the end of the images.
Bike swap meets are an interesting niche in our cycling world which is as much about reconnecting with fellow cyclists as it is about getting a good deal on something. Part "rummage sale" and part reunion, these gatherings are a great distraction from the gray, cold Winters here in the Northern hemisphere.
With that, here is a line or two from Ari and his images.
Here are some photos from the bike swap. It was 8 dollars to get in. Some vintage stuff was high,(priced) but a lot of insane deals. I was thinking that bike swaps are a good way to break up winter and see old friends and make new ones. I loved seeing old friends there.

That's a wrap on this report. Thanks again to Ari Andonopoulos for sharing these images with us! Bike swaps are a great illustration of "one man's junk is another man's treasure" and I think you can get a good feeling for this from Ari's imagery.
Got any good bike swap finds or stories? Please share them in the comments! And thanks again for reading Guitar Ted Productions!
