The Southern Appalachian Bike Swap hosted by Two Bikes and Southside Garage runs from 12:00pm - 7:00pm on April 28th, 2024 at Southside Garage (1014 Sevier Ave, Knoxville, TN 37920). Admission to browse, buy, trade or hangout is free but donations are accepted to help fund our programs. If you want to SELL anything–bicycles and bicycle parts, accessories etc.–you’ll need to register for a vendor’s table.
Registration for a vendors’ table is $25.
But wait! Did I tell you about the bike show?
Is your bike a blinged-out shred sled, a real show-stopper? Well, if you think your ride has got what it takes, roll it on out and see how it stacks up. Admission to the bike show is FREE and trophies are awarded to best of five categories: Vintage Road Bike, Vintage Mountain Bike, Modern Road Bike, Modern Mountain Bike, Alt-Bike (Bikepacking, Touring, Commuter).
To enter your bike into the show, visit the registration table. Maximum entry is two bikes per person. Winners will be announced at 5:30pm.
Simple! Registration for a single table is $25.
We usually get an extra table or two but DON’T COUNT ON IT. We ask that all vendors register before April 24th, 11:59pm so that we can have an accurate count for the number of tables needed.
Vendors will receive their table locations on the day of the swap. Just visit the registration table and we’ll direct you to your assigned table(s). And if you have any other questions we’ll be happy to help.
The Southeastern Appalachian Bike Swap runs from 12:00pm - 7:00pm on April 28th, 2024. We ask that vendors show up at 11:00am so we can get everyone situated before the swap starts. The swap officially closes at 7pm so we can round folks up and announce bike show winners at 5:30pm.
When you arrive, please see the registration table and we’ll get you to your assigned table(s).
We also ask that vendors have their remaining junk all packed up and their tables cleared before 7:00pm.
Each registered vendor will be provided with a table (give or take, 2.5’x8’) and ONE CHAIR along with enough additional space for 1-2 bikes. If you think you’ll need more room than that, you’re welcome to register for an additional table…or two…I don’t know, how much junk do you have?
Bummer! Unfortunately, vendor registration fees are non-refundable.
For sure!
You can register as many tables as your heart desires.
It’s up to the individual vendor but CASH is always the preferred option. If I had a nickel for everytime someone is fixin’ to say, “do you have Venmo?” I’d have a lot of nickels.
Sorry but no. That wouldn’t be fair to other paying vendors. Registration for a vendors’ table only costs $25.
If you’ve got a bike or two to sell you DO NOT need to register for a table! Check out our new-for-this-year Used Bike Corral.
Matt’ll help you out. matthew@twobikes.org
