The new Gekko recumbent trike from Germany's HP Velotechnik will make its debut to the U.S. public at the upcoming Recumbent Cycle-Con.

The Recumbent Cycle-Con Convention & Trade Show is being held October 21 - 23, 2011, in Southern California at the Pomona Fairplex near Los Angeles, California.

The three-day Recumbent Cycle-Con event will feature two Trade Days devoted to the recumbent industry (Friday, October 21, and Saturday, October 22), and one day devoted to recumbent cycle enthusiasts and the general public (Sunday, October 23).

The two Trade Days will provide a marketplace for companies to promote their products directly to the recumbent industry, and to facilitate the exchange of information about new products, marketing concepts and techniques. The two Trade Days will also feature informative and educational dealer seminars and workshops, giving manufacturers and suppliers the opportunity to provide training and hands-on experience to their dealers. Additionally, recumbent dealers will have the opportunity to try out all the newest bikes on the Outdoor Demo Riding Arena, located conveniently adjacent to the exhibit hall. In addition to all the major recumbent cycle manufacturers, accessory manufacturer and suppliers will be exhibiting all the latest equipment designed to enhance the recumbent cycling experience.

On Sunday, October 23, the gates will be opened to the public, giving recumbent enthusiasts and the general public the chance to see the exciting new recumbent cycles and accessories from all the major manufacturers and suppliers. In addition to the opportunity to chat directly with factory representatives, recumbent enthusiasts will also have the opportunity to see and ride the newest recumbent cycles in the Recumbent Cycle-Con's secure Outdoor Demo Riding Arena, free of any vehicular traffic.

The Fairplex is a state-of-the-art exhibition facility located just thirty miles east of downtown Los Angeles, and is the ideal location for the recumbent industry and enthusiasts to gather. It is 'freeway close' to millions of California consumers, and has two international airports nearby. Exhibitors will include the major manufacturers of recumbent bicycles and tricycles, along with manufacturers and distributors of cycling equipment and accessories.

Our headquarters hotel, the Sheraton Fairplex, is located right on the Pomona Fairplex grounds, with special room rates available to exhibitors, dealers and attendees. Click the link above to go to the reservations page.

  • Facts are correct

    Subverita - There's a vast difference between a trade show and a rally. Notably, dealers and buyers don't go to the Hostel Shoppe rally to place their orders for the coming year.

    The Hostel Shoppe rally is primarily intended for riders and consumers while trade shows are primarily attended for B2B interaction.
