At the 2nd Lucerne bike parts flea market on Saturday, November 21, the Velociped bike store in Kriens was once again a hive of activity. "Once again, there was a lot of expert chatting and bargaining, and many a 60s Campagnolo component came with a history lesson. But you could also admire and buy chic cycling clothes, racing bike shoes or creative gift ideas for bikes," says Marius Graber from the Velociped specialist store.

According to Graber, the sales stands were already fully booked several weeks before the event: last Saturday, almost 20 vendors - including clubs, individuals, bike dealers and importers - offered a colorful mix of parts. The event was not only attended by locals from Lucerne, but also by many visitors from all over Switzerland.

According to Graber, it got very crowded at times in the aisles between the stands with the bike parts. Roel Tubée from Velociped said: "We are very satisfied with the flea market, the atmosphere was good, the range on offer was nice and there was a lot of trading and talking shop again. We had even more visitors than last year."

The date for the 3rd Lucerne Bike Parts Flea Market has already been set: This is scheduled to take place on November 19, 2016.
