Bina Bilenky, perpetual marketing machine at Philadelphia PA’s Bilenky Cycle Works, has teamed up with bicycling maestro and framebuilder extraordinaire Brian Baylis to infuse the San Diego Custom Bicycle Show with more energy and innovation than ever. This exciting celebration of bicycle culture will take place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday April 8, 9 & 10, 2011 at the San Diego Community Concourse, 202 C Street, San Diego, CA.
Local, national and international exhibitors will display their wares. These will include independent frame builders, larger manufacturers, and makers of fine bicycle components, accessories and apparel. Special activities include a pedal powered carnival, bicycle rodeo, tall bike jousting and a kinetic sculpture parade. Seminars, demonstrations, and parties with live music will round out the festivities.
The San Diego Custom Bicycle Show is scheduled to coincide with The San Diego Gran Fondo, a massive group ride being held just a few blocks away.
“After the launching the wonderfully successful first-ever Philly Bike Expo,” says Ms. Bilenky, “I am honored and excited to help Brian Baylis provide another important event for the cycling calendar.”
Brian Baylis has been building, painting and restoring fine bicycles since 1973. He is also an avid collector.
“Our purpose is to inspire and educate,” Mr Baylis says. “This action-packed weekend will delight and intrigue cyclists and non-cyclists alike with the endless possibilities of two-wheeled fun.
