Southeast Bike Expo – February 25th and 26th, 2012!

The Southeast Bike Expo will be bringing manufacturers from all over the United States to show and demo their products.  Manufacturers like Trek, Niner, Specialized, Shimano, and SRAM will be there to show off their latest and greatest products.  Many more have committed.  Check the Southeast Bike Expo website for updates.

 Not only will it be open to retailers like most bike expos, but it will be open to the general public as well. Our goal is to put on a fun event in a great location for very low cost to manufacturers, retailers, and consumers.

The Georgia International Horse Park in Conyers, Georgia provides that.  The GIHP is the site of the 1996 Olympic Mountain Bike cross-country course. This gives us the opportunity to use onsite world-class MTB trails. We will also have an area for road bike demos. This unique outdoor demo area has space for over 1000 vendors.

This new event gives you the consumer the ability to actually ride the new products and then talk with the manufacturers about the products.

The Southeast Bike Expo will take place February 25th-26th, 2012.
