If you can see Mt. Baker, you are part of The Experience
Thousands of local bicycle enthusiasts and industry folks flocked to the Seattle Bike Show like spokes to a hub last weekend.
The annual event at Century Link Field Event Center in Seattle featured about 125 exhibitors, a beer garden, a pump track, inspiring speakers and more.
Exhibitors ranged from international bike brands to small manufacturers showing off garage-built components. Tourism bureaus as far flung as Okanagan, B.C., and Eugene, Oregon joined the party.
