About the Swap
The Brazen Dropouts Bike Swap is a one-day event held annually in January in Madison, WI that connects folks with bike stuff to sell with people who want to buy it. Over 150 vendors register to sell stuff like cycling attire, shoes, frames, forks, cranks, pedals -- you name it, it's probably at the Swap.
The Swap typically brings approximately 1000 general attendees from WI and the surrounding states! The exact vendors vary from year to year, but it's a good bet that you'll find some spectacular deals, and meet a bunch of great people. Additionally, a number of non-profit bicycle advocacy groups attend the Swap - so even if you don’t buy anything, you can learn about some great events and organizations! Brazen Dropouts don’t take any commission on any sale.
If you represent a non-profit, please get in touch with us at bdbikeswap@gmail.com to inquire about spaces we have available to you.

Early bird gets the worm at the Swap! Arrive earlier in the day to get the best pick of bikes and things. Admission costs drop off throughout the day as the pickings get slimmer. No need to buy a ticket ahead of time, just show up on the Saturday of the Swap at the Alliant Center with a form of payment. Either cash or card work!
