If you're in the DC area and you're a guerrilla, you better get down to Mt pleasant this weekend. .
Saturday, April 3rd, 11am-2pm in Lamont Park in Mount Pleasant across from DC's historic Heller's Bakery.
Bring out your old, your dusty, your shiny and new, the bike that you can't store, the extra wheels you can't part with,
your new hat, your old bag, your rattle-canned handlebars and your pristine internal headset and trade them in for cash or that one part you really need.
There will be swapping and selling and lots of bike talk. Bike themed art, bike clothes, etc.
There will be a free clinic provided by the DC's Farmers Market Bike Clinics (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Farmers-Market-Bike-Clinics/463260070180?filter=1#!/pages/Farmers-Market-Bike-Clinics/463260070180?ref=ts ) as well as a workshop on how to create your own community bike clinic.
Set up begins at 10:30, simply bring a blanket or groundcloth and whatever items you have to trade or sell. There will be no overhead or registration necessary. Bring your lawn chairs and cigar boxes. Umbrellas if it looks rainy. Coffee and Doughnuts at Heller's and we will retire to Marx cafe for Heffeweizen afterwords.
