Comment by Lisa Curcio on January 8, 2014 at 10:12am: Lee, do you need volunteers to help with anything? Now that I know I can attend I would be happy to help with anything you need.

Comment by Lee Diamond on January 5, 2014 at 12:05pm: Todd,

Sadly, we do not have space for a bike corral. I saw you rented a table and you have a total of 6 feet by 6 feet to put anything you want to sell, including bikes. It will be a bit of a squeeze this year for sure, which will be a challenge, but it was the best arrangement we could make with the time we had. Thanks for being part of the swap.

Comment by Todd Boring on January 4, 2014 at 2:17pm: Will there be a bike corral?

Comment by Lee Diamond on January 4, 2014 at 4:58am: Yes Howard, it is definitely cool to have one person buy the table and share it with others.

Comment by Lee Diamond on December 29, 2013 at 7:58am: T-shirt design will likely be a Ross Felten design. Still working on other details for the swap at the moment so we will attend to that one shortly as well. Thanks for joining and look forward to seeing you at the swap.

Comment by Kevin Mulcky on December 28, 2013 at 7:39am: I joined the CBC. Did Ross make the T-shirt design too?

Comment by Active Transportation Alliance on December 27, 2013 at 12:33pm: Hey Tony, we decided we couldn't do the swap and the new ride that we're planning for next summer. We'll look at bringing it back in 2015 but need to make sure the new ride is successful first. We're very glad that the swap ball got picked up and are excited to attend.

I'm posting several blogs soon about why we're not doing the swap and what swap options are available, our 2014 event schedule including the new ride announcement.

The campaign work like BRT, bikeways, etc. doesn't have overlap with our events work except that our events help fund those efforts and the campaigns have a presence at our events. We're certainly not doing the swap because of campaign work.

Thanks,

Ethan Spotts, Active Trans

Comment by Lee Diamond on December 20, 2013 at 11:22am: Hey Tony. Thanks very much and I am sure Ross (the poster artist) appreciates it too. However, this IS the bike swap this year, and Active Trans WILL be there, however they couldn't run it this year. We decided to try to pick up the ball and run with it so the swap could still happen. Hopefully you'll make it out and we'll see you there.

Cheers - Lee

Comment by Tony Adams on December 20, 2013 at 11:15am: Poster is awesome. No bike swap this year? What is the story with that? ATA too busy pushing the BRT?
