Serfas Bicycle Swap Meet Set for Rancho Santa Margarita, Ca.

Yesterday I got late word of a Bicycle Swap Meet to be held here in the South of Orange County.

The Serfas Company has its Headquarters in Rancho Santa Maragita, and for 14 years it has been known in the Cycling Industry for its variety of quality, innovative, products, including Saddles, Shorts, Gloves, Saddle Bags, Computers, Pumps, Tires, Lights, and Spectacles.

I asked James how he learned of little ol' me, and this is what he wrote:

I found your site through word of mouth.

I asked around the office for local blogs and one of our sales guys said he checks your site regularly.

I really like your site, it seems pretty informative.

I especially like the “Oldest shops in the country and the world” stores, and List.

In the soon to be 6 years of the existence of this blog (As of the 1st week of January!) I've never been sure just how much, or how varied, an audience I have, especially locally, or in SoCal as a whole, but from time to time, I get e-mails, tips, and event alerts from folks in the industry, and that is very cool indeed.

This has not been the best of years for me, for opportunities to go on my bike riding adventures, or for BikeBlogging, and I hope to do better next year, but I am glad that folks are still getting something worthwhile from my efforts.

With 2 weeks to go before the Swap Meet I hope some of my fellow SoCal Cyclists learn of the event through this post, and can attend.
