Philly Bike Expo, March 16-17
One of the Nation’s Best
The Philly Bike Expo is celebrating its 14th year. This remarkable event, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in downtown Philadelphia, brings together outstanding exhibitors from throughout the country. These include dealers, distributors, advocacy organizations, and specialty frame makers. There will be valet bicycle parking. For general information, check out the Expo’s Web site. Here’s a panoramic view of the exhibitor area in an earlier year’s Philly Bike Expo. (Click photo to enlarge.)
CyclingSavvy at the Philly Bike Expo
Don’t forget to visit the ABEA/Coalition for Appropriate Transportation booth (number 3505, just to the right of the food court). You’ll be able to “drive” a human-powered vehicle through a busy intersection and see how to avoid the hazards.
Rides
We’ll lead a 16-mile Sunday Slow Roll sightseeing ride ride Saturday morning — 7:45 AM from Drexel Park, across the street from 30th Street Station. The ride arrives at the Expo as it opens.
And meet at the Convention Center at 7 PM Saturday for a party pace ride to a big Saturday evening party. The full rides schedule is here.
