Next year for the urban bike swap, we need a place a bit larger with better lighting. Loved rubbing shoulders with the cycling community, however. Thanks for all who organized this one and make it a go.

Thanks!! All of the larger venues we looked at had price tags starting in the $5-800 range.
We looked at schools, we looked at private sports complexes; even park district fieldhouses are demanding the big bucks now due to the economic shambles the city is in.
The good news is that after this year's success we are poised to be able to pay for most of the venues we explored this year before Jaks came along; would much rather be able to give that money back to the bike community though, so any help is appreciated tracking down a suitable venue for next year-- we've got such a vast network of people from all walks of life that I know there's a connection to an ideal space out there.
