Event Details
It all goes down on June 14, 2025, from 9:00am to 2:00pm at the Marin Museum of Bicycling in Fairfax. Entry is free for anyone who wants to browse or shop.
If you show up early, you’ll find coffee and donuts waiting. There’s no official lunch on-site, but hey, you won’t go hungry—more on that in a sec.
Location and Setup
Vendors set up in the museum’s front parking lot and along the side of the building. This outdoor setup keeps things laid-back and easy to navigate, just like the classic bike swap meets you might remember.
The museum sits right in the middle of Fairfax, so you can walk to plenty of restaurants and cafes when you need a lunch break.
What to Expect
You’ll see all sorts of stuff: bike parts, complete bikes, accessories, and cycling clothes. The informal, open-air vibe means you might stumble onto bargains or rare finds you’d never spot in a regular shop.
Shopping Tips
Want the best picks? Show up early. Sellers often bring their top items right at the start, and those don’t stick around for long.
About the Museum
The Marin Museum of Bicycling shines a light on Marin County’s outsized role in cycling history—especially the birth of mountain biking on Mt. Tamalpais back in the ‘70s. Inside, you’ll find the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame and a fascinating lineup of bikes from the past two centuries.
Supporting the Museum
Visitors can wander the swap meet and check out the museum, too. Every admission ticket and shop purchase helps the museum keep cycling history alive.
It’s a great excuse to hunt for rare finds and learn how bikes—and Marin—shaped cycling culture. If you’re curious about the Bike Swap or want to peek at the museum’s collection, swing by mmbhof.org or just give them a call.
