I was originally signed up to be an exhibitor at the South Florida Bike Expo, but when an email came from the promoter saying that they were juggling space to handle additional folks, I volunteered to give up my booth.
Wall to wall bicycles
After all, I don’t have anything to sell. I don’t lead tours, so what you read here is what you get. That decision worked out well, because it freed me up to wander around shooting the other booths and get a feel for the event.
South Florida Expo open Sunday, July 18
If you missed Saturday’s show, you’ll have another shot Sunday, July 18, between 9 A.M. and 6 P.M. Admission is free, but you will have to pay for parking at Ft. Lauderdale’s War Memorial Auditorium. You can get directions and all the info at the South Florida Bike Expo website.
Charity Rides
There are lots of exhibitors who will sign you up for charity rides.
Bicycle Advocacy community represented
The South Florida Bike Coalition, League of American Cyclists, the Florida Bicycle Association and others who lobby for our right to be on the road were there.

Love the photo of the woman with the Specialized helmet on her head. The helmet is very striking to look at (has that shape of the creature that came out of the stomach in the movie, Alien…) but the expression on her face is what draws me back to the photo.
I am torn between thinking she is either self conscious about having that helmet on her head OR she is thinking about all the brew-ha-ha over bikes, racing and the politics involved these days.
Is it contempt for bike clubs, the disappointment of Lance and the Tour de France this year, or is she thinking how she will smoke everyone she rides with if she had that helmet on the next time she gets her bike on the pavement?
I suppose a photo is worth a thousand words after all, or a 149 words in this particular case.

Mark S,
That was my favorite shot of the day, too. I gave her a biz card and told her that she might be made world-famous, but I don’t know if she ever saw herself.
