With Spring well on it way and promises of 60 F degree days on the horizon, biking has been on mind.
And just in time! Spring is the season of bike swaps and I found a few scheduled in northern New England over the next few weeks. If you know of any bike swap events in your area, please leave us a comment and I will add them to the list!
