Madison Bike Swap

ABOUT THE SWAP

The Brazen Dropouts Bike Swap is a one-day event that connects folks with bike stuff to sell with people who want to buy it. Over a hundred vendors register to sell stuff like cycling attire, shoes, frames, forks, cranks, pedals -- you name it, it's probably at the Swap. The exact vendors vary from year to year, but it's a good bet that you'll find some spectacular deals, and meet a bunch of great people.

YOUR GUIDE TO THE SWAP

BIKE CORRAL - FOR SELLING BIKES!

The bike corral is ideal for those who have complete bikes to sell. You can think of it like a pumpkin patch full of bikes for Swap attendees to peruse. There's no need to register ahead of time: just bring your bikes to the Swap. For non-vendors, it costs $15 to enter the first bike into the corral (general admission included), and then $5 for each additional bike. The price for vendors will be $5 for every bike.  We'll take down your contact information (typically a cell phone number), and make sure that any interested buyers get in touch with you directly while you shop the Swap.

TABLES - FOR SELLING ANYTHING!

We have about 150 tables available, each of them measuring 8'x2.5', which comprise the majority of the floor. You can register as many tables as you'd like, and we'll be sure to situate them next to one another. You can sell anything at a table! We just ask that you don't move them, keep the aisles clear, and don't spill over into someone else's space. If you represent a non-profit, please get in touch to inquire about spaces we have available to you.

EXPO SPACES - FOR SELLING ANYTHING! IN STYLE.

"Expo spaces" are 10'x20' squares situated front and center at the venue. These spaces are designed to allow free-form presentation. Some vendors set up a small tent over their space, bring their own fixtures, and set up a small pop-up shop. Others need only the two tables provided with every space, but want to situate them differently than the tables mentioned above allow.
