This past weekend the Norco truck and trailer packed up and head down to the 21st annual Seattle Bike expo. Put on by the Cascade Bicycle Club this has become the largest bicycle consumer show in North America. With more than two hundred exhibitors and thousands of consumers showing up the weekend was a flurry of activity. Norco had some near-ceiling-high towers set up with a display of bikes alongside  the latest and greatest from Axiom and Mace.

Next to the Norco setup always seemed to be a mob of people waiting to see the next Ryan Leech Trials Show or Artistic Cycling Demonstration. Having Ryan do 4 shows over the two days was a treat for everyone at the show. Having the Artistic Cycling team as well was simply icing on the cake.

If the expo, the trials demo and the artistic cycling wasn’t enough for you, Ryan was also leading a morning Yoga session both days of the show. A group of yoga enthusiasts showed up each day to partake in Ryan’s class.

With more than 200 exhibitors at the show it took a fair bit of time to see everything. That is if you could actually see everything. Three of the exhibitors present also happened to be Norco Factory Team sponsors FSA, Ergon and Nuun.

The Seattle Bike Expo is a haven for avid cyclists and granola eating – bicycle polo enthusiasts. The whole spectrum of cyclists is represented at the event which creates a fantastic vibe of enthusiasm and creativity. From the Donkelope booth to the Wooden Frame manufacturer, there is no shortage of niche representation. Larger companies such as REI, Specialized and local retailers also came out for the Expo balancing the equation.

Norco has been present for the event, displaying product for the new, the recent and the dedicated norco fans.  Next time you are in the area, check out the Seattle Bike Expo and you too, could be seeing the latest and greatest from the big and the small, the new and the old. . .

Today was the first day of the 2009 Seattle Bike Expo. After spending the better part of yesterday setting up and starting off bright an early today, the show started off without a hitch. With approximately 200 vendors and more than 4000 visitors the show was a bustle of activity.

Taking a moment to look around there was everything from tandems to wooden bikes, retailers to distributors. There were people from all walks of life and all riding styles present. As with most events. . . . pictures speak louder than words!
