The Vancouver Bike Expo returns to BC Place (in the process of inflation) on February 17th and 18th and this year's show is shaping up to be the best ever! As you all know, the unseasonable weather in Vancouver has kept all but the most hardy Lower Mainland's riders off the roads and trails for the past two months! The Vancouver Bike Expo will be the perfect venue to check out all the new '07 gear and reconnect with friends in the bike world. To help serve you better we have expanded our exhibitor categories this season to accommodate the entire bike industry -Road, BMX and Mountain Biking.

With Richard Juryn at the helm, energy and excitement will be hitting the show floor from all angles! Brand new for the 2007 show will be Dangerous Dan's World Famous Flow Show, Kris Holm's Unicycle Hockey and the NSMBA Vancouver Bike Swap - poised to attract thousands of biking enthusiasts!

If you have never seen Dan's show you are in for a treat! With teeter-tooters, skinnies and several ramps, including the piece de resistance - a 20 foot final drop, this is your opportunity to see North Shore riding at it's finest, all in the comfort of the dome. (bring your own snorkel - just kidding!)

Kris Holm is a multi-world champion unicyclist and he melds this single wheel craziness with the all Canadian game of hockey.

The Vancouver Bike Swap has been running for the last 3 years on the North Shore. Run by the well known North Shore Mountain Bike Association this is your opportunity to clear out all that old gear that has been cluttering up your garage or basement and turn it into cash! This is also a great opportunity to get bikes, wheels, clothing, shoes from any discipline - road, BMX and mountain. Stay tuned for further details on this one - suffice to say if you have gear that you aren't using dig it out, clean it up and get ready to bring it in!

Look for info on the show to start appearing on Jack FM, ROCK 101, CFOX, The Georgia Straight, Vancouver Sun, Vancouver Province and Global TV! This will be the most extensive marketing campaign in the history of the show designed specifically to increase excitement and attendance! Also, reconnect with your favourite shop, club or bike team as a great discount coupon program will be hitting the streets in the next few weeks.

We are extremely excited to welcome several new exhibitors to the 2007 show. A few of those exhibitors include the Whistler Mountain Bike Park, OPUS Bikes, ATAC Sportswear, Adidas Eyewear and Transition Bikes!
