The International Velodrome at Bloomer Park - Rochester Hills, Michigan
is proud to announce the 2nd year of this ground-breaking event.

Vintage bikes in multiple categories are invited, covering a full century of cycling. The swap meet will feature amazing collections of both retro and modern cycling gear.
