This is a great idea and woud be even better if we made it more than a BF thing. Like if someone got a park permit and we flyered for it at shops. We could also get some of the local teams involved because I'm sure lots of road/track racers have parts lying around that they want to get rid of.

why not do a swap meet/flea market? Money was, after all, created to allow the transaction of goods between market partcipants who may not have complementary goods for barter. In other words, what if I want something of yours but you don't want anything of mine? You won't accept my money?
EDIT: Oh, never mind.

I thought swap meet usually mean't you could either swap or purchase. All the bike swaps I've ever heard of have been like that.

The Wilson skatepark is a great idea! Do we need to get a permit from the Park District or someone? I think there should be food and drink involved as well, although perhaps alcohol is banned by the Park District, I don't know.

You can get permits that allow you to consume alcohol at parks. Costs $$ though.

I can get a permit for Humboldt Park - no one will care if we're drinking.
I second being able to sell stuff. I don't really need anything and I have so much to get rid of!
