Old bikes, new bikes, red bikes, blue bikes: On Saturday, May 18, the New Paltz Middle School will play host to a huge sale and swap meet for all manner of two-wheeled devices.
Admission is free, and participants can buy or sell bicycles, gear, parts, or cycling apparel. Volunteers will be on hand at the swap meet to help price and tag items -- so if you have a bike to sell, bring it along.
Now in its sixth year, the New Paltz Bike Swap is a fundraiser for the Fats In The Cats bicycle club. Of each sale at the swap, 20 percent goes to the club's community work: Fats In The Cats builds and maintain local trails, promotes bicycling in the region, and holds a holiday bicycle giveaway for children.
6th Annual New Paltz Bike Swap. New Paltz Middle School, 196 Main Street, New Paltz. Saturday, 5.18.2013, 9am-3pm. Free admission. For more information, see newpaltzbikeswap.com.
