(Radio Iowa) – We’re a month into a bitter cold winter, but dedicated Iowa cyclists are thinking ahead to spring and this weekend’s Iowa Bike Expo, what’s billed as the largest one-day bike show in the Midwest.
Luke Hoffman, executive director of the Iowa Bicycle Coalition, says they expect at least five-thousand people to attend the free event Saturday in Des Moines, featuring 120 vendors. After the expo, the coalition is hosting a Bike Banquet, with a long list of educational, inspirational speakers, plus, a report will be released on the impact of cycling and trails in Iowa.
One other cycling event this weekend is Saturday’s Route Announcement Party for RAGBRAI, the Register’s Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa. That event is in Waukee.
