Bike Swap Meet - part of the Beijing Farmers Market / Country Fair.

What better way to spend an afternoon than hanging around bikes and bike parts and swapping them with friends.

Do you have a cupboard full of old bike parts ? Old wheels ? Come along this weekend and set up a stall and sell or trade your bike stuff. If you don’t having anything to sell come along and buy ! So far it looks like there will be the following on sale : clothing, high end road and mountain bike parts - both new and second hand, and some vintage road bike gear.

The event will take place inside the Beijing Farmers Market which will have organic food and locally produced delicacies on sale. STC will set up with some other NGO's and Non-profit organizations promoting a healthy bike friendly lifestyle. It's a great opportunity to bring the family or your partner as there will be plenty of non-bike activities on offer as well !
