Philly Bike Expo



(CSO owners, Miranda and Steve, with CSO Bike Mechanic, Jason, at the Philly Bike Expo) 

On November 9th and 10th the CSO crew attended the Philly Bike Expo in Philadelphia, PA.  The Expo, in its 4th year, is a celebration of all things cycling.  The two day event includes vendor displays, educational seminars, and even a few organized rides.  Seminar topics discussed included gear for bike touring, how to build your own bike, yoga for cyclists and more.  The vendor display area was a great showcase of many small custom bike frame builders as well as larger companies including Surly and Raleigh.  The vast majority of the custom bike frames were of steel construction (awesome to see hand-built steel frames making a comeback and gaining in popularity). There were also many cycling accessories (bags, saddles, clothing, helmets, etc.) on display and for sale.  The Expo also included a vintage Schwinn bike display, including a bike that participated in the 1952 Summer Olympics.  CSO  had an awesome weekend at the Philly Bike Expo and we greatly enjoyed seeing so many bikes and discussing bikes with man fellow cyclists that are just as passionate about bicycles as we are.
