The Seattle Bike Swap, now in its 17th year, is a bike bargain hunter's paradise with up to 100 vendors under the same roof! Expect great deals on new and used bike-related goods, from complete bikes to small parts. You never know exactly what vendors will bring to sell and what treasures you will find. Don't miss this one-day-only sale!
Admission
General Adult Admission is on a sliding scale depending upon arrival time:
9 a.m. to 1 p.m. - $5
1 p.m. to 2 p.m. - FREE
Kids under age 15 are FREE all day!
Be sure to bring cash or checks with you, as most vendors won't take credit cards. As always, the best thing to "swap" for goods is cash. There are cash machines located near the Exhibition Hall.
If you ride your bike to the event, be sure to bring a lock - there will be racks available, but they will be unattended. On Sundays, street parking is free and there is lots of pay parking in the area.
It's best to arrive early because the really good stuff goes fast!
You should also check out Seattle Bicycle Expo, to be held March 10 & 11, 2012 at Smith Cove Cruise Terminal 91.
Sellers
Anyone with a surplus of road, mountain or track bike stuff (components, frames, clothing or complete bikes) is welcome to rent a vendor space. Due to the high demand, you must pre-pay to reserve your space.
Vendor space details - Sold Out as of Feb. 8

Consignment
If you have a complete bike you want to sell, we do offer consignment -- that is, we will try and sell your bike for you for a fee ($10 plus 10% of the selling price). If you’re looking for top-dollar on your bike this is NOT the place for you, as bikes will be priced to move. To sell your bike on consignment, you will need to bring your bike to the swap between 8 and 8:30 a.m. Come to the front entrance and we will have you complete a form and pay $10 (includes entry into the swap at 9 a.m.). Return by 2 p.m. that day and we will either give you money for your bike or return your bike to you.
All proceeds from consignment will benefit the Major Taylor Program. The Major Taylor Program is also accepting tax-deductible donations of bicycles to sell at Bike Swap. If you would like to donate a bicycle, please contact Ed Ewing.
