2nd annual Spokane Bike Swap - a Success!
Over 2,000 people, excited and ready for spring, attended the 2nd annual Spokane
Bike Swap on April 13 & 14 at the Spokane County Fair & Expo Center. With 40 vendors
present and over 600 used bikes registered to sell, there was something for everyone
during this two day event. "We tripled the amount of bikes registered to sell this
year in the bike corral and we sold over 450 over the two day event which was a
250% increase over last year," smiled Spokane Bike Swap Event Director, LeAnn Yamamoto.
"The building was buzzing with excitement as people found great deals on bikes and
accessories."
