(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.
