Here are some photos from the first day of the Seattle International Bike Expo, presented by the Cascade Bicycle Club.
More than 150 exhibitors fill Cruise Terminal 30, a new location for the event this year. Spread out in five different rooms, it's quieter and less jammed than in previous years.
Unfortunately, this may be a one-time only event at this location as the terminal is slated for demolition, according to a couple of exhibitors.
There are two areas for speakers and an indoor mountain bike course where Ryan Leech demonstrates his moves. Coach Chris Carmichael and author Joe Kurmaskie were among the speakers on Saturday; Joe returns Sunday as does coach Sally Edwards.
There are lots of bikes and 'bents on display and loads of clothing and gear is for sale. If you have questions about bike rides in Washington or Oregon, you can ask at dozens of booths set up for the separate events.
There are also fitness and nutrition exhibitors where some of the latest products in these fields are on display and for sale.
Also remember to bring in your used innertubes and drop them off at Alchemy Goods; each one earns you a chance to win one of their messenger bags. In fact, lots of exhibitors are running contests.
The Expo concludes Sunday, running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
