INDOOR TEST RIDE AREA
New for 2010 – The Expocycle Test Ride area. Not just a quick spin on a new bike, the new Test Ride Area offers an experience to really know you’re making the right choice with your buying decisions for 2011. The Test Ride area offers multiple opportunities to get a good feel for new mountain bike suspension designs, take an E-bike for an extended spin, and throw your leg over bikes you only get to see in magazines and on the web. If you think “that new design” may be too risky to invest in, then here’s your chance to put your fears to rest. Try it out in an environment that helps you make the right choice in your buying needs, while doing what we all love to do, take a new bike for a spin, in a controlled, safe setting.
