Active Living Bike Expo
Story from HaveFunBiking.com:
Join all those who plan to come to the Active Living Bike Expo this weekend and kick off summer. This year’s event is a place for anyone active in bicycling and those new to the sport to rally together in an entertaining atmosphere and discover the latest products in cycling gear, destinations to ride and safe riding tips. With gas prices haunting us once again, learn the cost saving secrets of multi-modal transportation. It doesn’t matter if your bike is ready to roll or you are looking for a new one, this event is scheduled for Friday, April 29 (3 to 9 p.m.) and Saturday, April 30 (9 a.m. to 6 p.m.) at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St. Paul. Then on Sunday, May 1, we all move out to Lakeville, Minn. for the Minnesota Ironman’s Gran Fondo Bike Ride.
This year’s bike show promises everyone a wide selection of information and entertainment. Try your hand at: pulling a weighted skid full of food on the Bike Pull Track; bring your bike and helmet for our decorating clinic by ArtStart; take in a family fun ride offered by the Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota; wear your favorite biking shirt to the show for the Favorite Bike Jersey Contest; try the mountain bike demo area or the simulated racing experience court; and don’t forget to register to win the four day-3 night bike vacation, for up to six, at Breezy Point Resort ($1500 value) powered by Microsoft.
A great way to jump start your mojo for an active summer and learn more about the benefits of multi-modal transportation. Incorporating a bike into your commute or recreational travel plans will save money and help you feel your best.
While at the expo don’t forget to pick up a complimentary copy of the 2011 Minnesota Biking Guide. Admission is complimentary with a food shelf donation to the Emergency Foodshelf Network.
