BIKEIOWA is super-excited to be a part of the largest bike-touring event in the world!
We are working the whole week (look for the BLACK BIKEIOWA Tents). But, even though we don't get to ride this week, we attended the pre-ride in June so we've ridden the route and been to all the towns. Stop by if you have any questions.
We've been around for 21 years now - yep - before Google, Facebook
, Instagram and all the other social media platforms, AND... We are still here as your #1 Iowa cycling resource!! We've posted thousands of times over the last 21 years. READ MORE
You'll find BIKEIOWA.com at the
RAGBRAI Expo, on route with
Iowa Beer Bus for three days and in the overnight towns of Pocahontas (day 2) and West Union (day 6). We will NOT be set up on-route or in Lansing on Saturday.
This feature is tailored to where BIKEIOWA will be and what we'll be up to all week. If you want specific RAGBRAI details, there is no better place than
RAGBRAI.com.
Come see BIKEIOWA at the RAGBRAI Expo!
Downtown Sergeant Bluff is the place to be for the RAGBRAI EXPO. It will be centrally located near D street and 4th street and is FREE and open to the public. The Expo will showcase official bike shops, bicycle/component manufacturers from around the country, travel and tour operators, and retailers associated with the cycling industry. Over 80 exhibitors will attend this year.
We will be there to talk about anything cycling related, promote Iowa cycling and to sell BIKEIOWA gear. Some quantities are limited so get there early if you want something specific.
Expo Hours: 12 noon to 9pm on Saturday, July 23rd in Sergeant Bluff. Find out more about the Expo
