One Awesome Bike Expo

If I could, I would fit it in even more words into the title, like: vintage bikes, fat bikes, low riders, fixies, cargo bikes, recumbents and all other pedal powered machines in between.

And of course, I would also include Thomas Oehler, the Red Bull trials biking maestro who was awesome enough to grace the Phil Bike Expo 2014 with his presence. Yes, I know: awesome is an often-misused and abused term. But in this case no word could be more apt.

If you weren’t there… ang laking sayaaang! What’s your excuse? Were you busy covering up the details of your hacienda in Batangas? Were you incarcerated for stealing from your pork barrel funds? Or did Jessy Mendiola ask you out for a date to watch Interstellar on IMAX? Di pa rin excuse yan. 

You missed out on seeing homegrown bikes from Nyfti and Bambike that are destined to conquer the world.

Here are some vids of the things that that went on in the expo.

Wow, I don’t think I would have had the balls to try this

Three-person bunnyhop?

Pinoy bmx kids were also there to showcase their stuff

And how about this nine foot drop?

Here’s a very big KUDOS to the organizers of this year’s event. We can only hope that there will be another one next year. And we’re almost certain that it’s going to be even bigger and more awesome.
