The Georgia International Horse Park in Conyers, GA will be hosting the first ever Bike Swap in conjunction with the SouthEast Bike Expo on February 25-26, 2012. Sellers can purchase a spot for $10 (on site) along with the Southeast Bike Expo registration. Or you can donate any unused cycling gear to the CycleYouth team at C Town Bikes to benefit their racing season.
For East Coast cyclists, hitting the big tradeshows and outdoor demo events like Interbike, Outerbike and Sea Otter are not only difficult, they’re expensive.
Enter the Southeast Bike Expo. Put together by Brian Malloy at The Hub Bicycles in Athens, GA, and several of our industry friends, the event will bring demo trucks and expos from Trek, Specialized, GT, Niner, Felt, Colnago, Look, and some other small brands, all with bikes to demo and drool over, plus tech personnel to answer all your bike geek questions.
They’ll also have an assortment of component and gear brands showing off their latest goodies. So far, Thomson, Cane Creek, Stan’s Notubes, Yakima, Camelbak, Saris/Cycleops, GoPro, Garmin and Timex are booked, and we hear quite a few more are jumping on board soon. Given the early interest from the industry for a first year event and the easily accessible location, there should be a great turnout.
The event February 25-26th, 2012 on the trails at Conyers, site of the first ever Olympic mountain bike race and a fantastic trail. Saturday night will feature a 3-hour night ride demo where bike light companies will have lights on demo bikes. The event is open to the public, entry is $20 per person for the weekend. Get your ticket at www.bikereg.com/14449 soon, entry is limited to 5,000 people.
There will also be a SWAP MEET held in conjunction with the SE Bike Expo. Anyone wishing to sell will be charged $10 per spot. Entry to buy at the Swap Meet will be included in the SE Bike Expo fee.
