San Francisco Bike Expo - all things bike!

Saturday was a beautiful day in San Francisco!  Early that morning Erin, Andrea and I head out from Sacramento to enjoy a city day with a dash of bicycle; Cow Palace bound to experience the San Francisco Bike Expo.

We saw the usual suspects.  Met bloggers face to face and got introduced to new and exciting companies.  Here are some of the highlights.  First on line:  Cycle Dogs collars and leashes made from recycled bike tubes.   I met the lovely Lanette, founder and creator of the fantastic idea.  I bought a set for my sweet corgi, "Hadley".  Feedback on the quality coming soon.

The next stop, was this really neat T-shirt shop out of Colorado call endurance conspiracy.  Great and fun designs.  My favorite here:


More re-purpose of bike's tubes.  The beautiful bags of totally tubular design


The Renovo bikes out of Portland.  Gorgeous hardwood bikes.  Unfortunately, for me, I didn't get to test ride.  Maybe next time.



Then to a close encounter of the scraper bikes kind.  A youth organization from Oakland and their founder and inspiration: Tyrone "Baby Champ" Stevenson.  Needless to say, Erin and myself were start struck.  If you don't know who Tyrone is become acquainted with his work, this kid is going to change the world.

Yes, I bought the cd to contribute to the cause
Erin couldn't contained herself
It was a great and fun experience.  So many people that I could mention but not enough space.  I also got to meet the founder of Cycle Chic Sundays! Global, the inspiration behind our very own Cycle Chic Sundays! Sacramento.  It was fun to finally meet you in person, Eva!


Pedal Savvy Fashion Show was a hit!  I arrived to late to enjoy the show ;(  Here are the highlights from another blogger Cyclelicious  Thanks Richard!

Good running into you!

Baby Champ is the best, isn't he? Positive friendly guy.

My daughter Ivy bought one of the dog leashes from Cycle Dog :-)
