At the Sacramento Convention Center:
I volunteered to do the Bike Valet for SABA (Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates) – free secure bicycle parking inside the Convention Center.
Bicycles were checked in, tagged and set on racks in numerical order.
Over 1000 bicycles were parked over the 3-day show!
As a thank-you for volunteering, after a shift was completed, the volunteer was able to see the show.
Who knew there were so many companies, both large and small, plus many individuals who make bicycles by hand.
Mavic from France, not a bicycle-maker, but a company that specializes in servicing racing teams around the world. 
A few of my favorites.
A bicycle-carrying rack for motorcycles:
A wooden bicycle from Germany:
Bicycle for two with sun canopy:
Biwakoguma Bicycles, handmade in Japan. The artist is also the builder:
The paint job was amazing. I hope the gold leaf shows up in the photo.
And finally, a 9.9 pound bicycle. You could have one just like it for a mere $13,000.

It took place at Beatnik Studios in downtown Sacramento.
