Hey does anyone know when /if there will be a bicycle show at NAVY pier this march? Alternatively will there be one in milwaukee/West Allis at the fairgrounds? I cannot wait to get a big sloppy burger and a Custard after.

March 29th and 30th...

Yeah...they're doing it again...not sure of dates....check the Wheel & Sprocket site I guess...they are the ones that put it on. I've never really found much there though...more taylored to families buying hybrid bikes etc.

Not a lot there....but the custard, that awaits at several places and may be worth your time alone!

Here ya go:

I have to work on the 14th 15th of march.The 29-30th dates mean i can go.maybe i can even ride if the weather is decent.As for the burger i can go to the culvers in franklin park.

Looks like it will be in Rosemont instead this year....Yay me! Lots closer.Seriously?! :( Anyone know a good route? Looks like I might take the L, instead.

This guy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_E._Stephens)was to busy hanging out with the Mob to worry about bike lanes.
I think I will ride my bike down Lawrence to the Jefferson Park L stop. Hop on the L there.

So the show is this weekend. If you go on Saturday morning, stop by at the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation booth. I'll be there.

Anyone going? Totally forgot it was this weekend.

Mrs. JT1 and I are planning to go tomorrow.

I will be there Sunday, fairly early but after open.

Hey Psimet, Sunday could be a possible for me.

Looks like the wife has decided that we're going today. She's at the wine and bread shop tomorrow morning if you want to head over there....I can go again. :D

I'll inquire over in the touring forum, but local/midwest is what I want to know about. I would like to get a closer look at various saddle[bag] and pannier options- especially since the quality ones seem to cost a fortune. Does anyone know of a bike show that features more touring gear? Would this be at an outdoor show instead of a bike specific one?

Thanks,

Erick

Don't know about any touring specific bike shows, but Rapid Transit carries Ortlieb and Uptown bikes carries both Arkel and Detour. Visit them for some close-up quality time with your future pannier

Thanks, Duppie. I haven't been to Uptown since I lived in the neighborhood a good excuse to head up north.

I'm not thinking that the shows themselves would be touring specific, but one that might have a stronger presence of gear.
