Joe Torrisi of the St. Louis Regional Bicycle Federation talks about the Midwest Bicycle Expo (Joe's on the board of the St. Louis Bike Fed and President of MoBikeFed!)

The Midwest Bicycle Expo and Swap Meet is the big annual event sponsored by the St. Louis Regional Bicycle Federation.

Brent Hugh of the Missouri Bicycle Federation will be there to give a presentation on "MoBikeFed's Vision of Bicycling in Missouri". Love to see you at the presentation (12:30-1:30) or at MoBikeFed's booth at the Expo!

Here are the details from the St. Louis Bicycle Federation:

Like a Kid in a Candy Store! - Bike Expo Jan. 25
That's how you will feel, as you walk down the aisles past tables filled with goodies. What's your fancy? New shorts? New shoes? New commuter? How about that Italian sweetness you have always dreamed of owning since secretly aspiring to be a Cutter?
Seriously, there will be bike shops and individual vendors selling everything from tires to clothing to bicycles. And if you are looking for that custom or hard-to-find part, you are likely to find it among the many vendors who specialize in that type of inventory.
