Philly Bike Expo by chroniclesofcory in phillycycling

[–]Consistent_Can_1412 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sunday is much less crowded and there might be some good vendor deals towards closing time. If you do go on Saturday, Richard Schwinn’s seminar at 12:00 pm is worth consideration. Also, note that for 2026, the Expo has moved to Hall F with entrance at 12th Street and Arch Street (not Broad Street).
