Bicycle Show
The 2026 bicycle show highlighted how cycling can be a practical solution for everyday transportation — not just exercise and amusement. Festival-goers saw that human-powered and electric cycles can handle commuting, errands, cargo hauling, and more.
Future bicycle displays may include:
- Cargo bikes and utility cycling setups
- Electric bicycles and e-assist systems
- Commuter bikes and gear
- Bike trailers and accessories for practical transportation
- Any cycling equipment that demonstrates bikes as real transportation
For 2027, we expect to invite people to bring bikes, set up in a display area, and talk about using cycling for transportation.
