Free admission AND a sweet T-shirt?? You'd be crazy not to volunteer for the Chicago Bike Swap!

Howard - I sent Christine at ATA my preferences yesterday. And I passed on the info to someone

(Bonnie) who is heavily involved in the Bloomingdale Trail restoration and she wants to reserve a table

(are there any remaining) ?

Hiya Dan,

Christine and I are bouncing a spreadsheet back and forth so it all goes to the same place.

I can't open it from work but I think I saw you on there.

I'm pretty certain there is booth and table space remaining-- should be fine to just go ahead and use the signup at chicagobikeswap.org.

I volunteered (bike corral!). I found my beloved Miyata mixte single-speed conversion at last year's swap (Paul Murphy, if he's there again this year check him out). I wanted to show the swap some thank-you love.

T-11 days.

There's a recently updated volunteer roster showing what's still open here:

We'd be happy to have at least ~10 more. Afternoon shift especially needed. T-shirt order going out very soon so hurry if you want to make sure you get the right size.

Also-- pushing 60 registrants-- partial vendor list has been posted here:
