“The San Francisco Bike Expo brings all the varying niches of the local bike community together; custom builders, low riders, cross racers, dirt jumpers, and people looking for used and vintage parts and bikes. The guys at rideSFO are constantly pushing to make the show bigger and better. I’ll keep going because I think it has the potential to become a major regional attraction for cyclists and customers.”

“AT’s Showdown was one of the best events I ever went to. I travel Europe all the time and never feel comfortable. Today I rode great. I got to ride in front of my parents and that meant the world to me.”

“We at Yuba and the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship have been coming to this event since its inception. It has been a great way for us to unload the balance of our rental fleet and seasonal soft goods. We also have used the event to educate folks on the Stewardships future trail projects and get folks stoked on the whole Downieville scene. We are coming back this year and love to see that the event is not only growing and showing folks a good time but raising money for trail and bike advocacy. Way to go guys , keep up the good work”

“SF Bike Expo is an event that we look forward to all year. People seem to come from all over the bay area, which gives us a chance to reach a wider and more diverse cycling audience. We’re in the process of cleaning out a 35 year old collection of bike shop “runoff” and we bring all of the stuff that we no longer have room for. We also bring all of the merchandise that we have collected over the course of the year. Lots of killer stuff! The SFBE crew run a fantastic event and we look forward to seeing everyone on Nov. 6!!

“The SF bike expo pretty much ROCKED! Showing was a great group of retailers with a lot of diversity and unique products. The fashion show was cool and allowed the clothing/accessory retailers to show their stuff (our bike was even included in the fashion show). The crew at SF bike expo did a great job of organizing the event and promoting the participating businesses. All and all, we’ll be making the trip from Wisconsin to SF in 2011!”
