The Road to NAHBS
Stacey, Otto, Delilah & I made our way through a brutal onslaught of deranged drivers and a several mile long bumper to bumper bummer to get to the North American Bicycle Show. This is my second NAHBS and I am STOKED!
The ride was essentially smooth because our little guy, Otto, was either smiling or sleeping throughout the trip and save the several psychotic drivers and the traffic jam that surely delayed many other southern NAHBS attendees, the drive was uneventful.
For continued NAHBS coverage, that is if you are reading this and not in RVA, I suggest you do the following:
- Follow this list of people attending NAHBS on twitter
- Keep it dialed via RSS on Embrocation’s coverage
- Brush up on Who’s Who at NAHBS
- Read these 6 reasons to cancel your plans and then…
Come To Richmond!
I will be posting photos and write ups and the events go down here in the River City! I look forward to seeing lots of new bikes and old friends.
NAHBS ~ February 26-28
This year marks the second road trip to a NAHBS.
How many time does it take to make it a tradition?
I know it won’t be my last and certainly know it will be the best yet.
From the NAHBS site:
The 2010 North American Handmade Bicycle Show will be held at the Greater Richmond Convention Center in Richmond, Virgina, February 26-28. We’re expecting a great showing from the handmade community for our first show on the East Coast! Exhibitor registration is off to a great start, with builders like Crumpton, Richard Sachs, Vanilla, and Independent Fabrications already commited. The ever-growing list is available here.
SHOW HOURS:
Public access will be from 10AM to 6 PM Friday and Saturday, with 9 AM until 10 AM on those days restricted to Industry and Media. Sunday will be from 10 AM until 5 PM for all attendees.

Looking forward to NAHBS 2010 in RVA exponentially and this is yet another perk.

Broken Hearts 6! ~ Sat 3/6
March 6th, 2010 is the Sixth Annual Broken Hearts and Bicycle Parts !
Broken Hearts hold a special place in most hearts of the cyclists we all know here in Atlanta. You’d be hard pressed to find someone who doesn’t have memories of a Broken Hearts alleycat.
Sadly, I will be out of town for this year’ race. The first I have missed since 2005!
