I'll be there with the Urban Velo booth and full photo studio.

For those who can't make it stay tuned to urbanvelo.org and for daily image updates.

See our NAHBS page for all of the images from the 2008 show. This page will be updated form Indianpolis with 2009 images as we process them.

i'm stoked. i'm also stoked to see indianapolis in a weird way.

anyone know of any "must see" things in indy?

what's the primanti's of the town?

I'll be there. My sister is in Angola, IN, so it's a combo family visit. I don't know anything about Indy yet really either. I'm expecting to be at the show most/much of Saturday.

the art bike thing looks cool too. i'm def gonna check that out

If I can I'm going to stop by ArtBike, we'll see. I have a feeling I'm going to be pretty busy.

I'll be there too, along with 4 co-workers. I'm pretty stoked to going mostly as journalist, not so much booth worker.

I've asked quite a number of people if they know anything about Indy. Other than a bit of trivia (biggest US city without a river or large body of water nearby) I got nothing.

I'm looking forward to exploring by bike. Weather looks pretty good, mid-30's and sunny.

huh, whatdya know. no large body of water.

maybe there's a kurt vonnegut museum or statue

there's a republican mayor there. that's noteworthy.

hmmmmm well i did just get a prius...

-elvis' last show was played here in indy

Hey Erok!

While you are there, could you fix these things?

Thanks

Mick

Images are being posted... urbanvelo.org. I have over 100 up already, and countless more in the cue. Enjoy, I'm having a blast shooting them all.

Whats the shutter count at? 850 images in the studio from Thursday and Friday. I still have two full days of shooting.

nice shots brad. i like how they're presented too.

the bilenky family shot is great

I've posted hundreds of images to the Urban Velo site.

www.urbanvelo.org/nahbs

That link will direct you to images from the 2009 and 2008 years of the show, maybe 600+ between the two? After a few hundred it becomes a blur.

If you're just interested in the mountain bikes, BIKE Magazine also has published some of my work and a bit of an intro.

We've got 243 shots up in the DR gallery

Yes we know the gallery is clunky and low-rez, we are upgrading soon!

i got a missed connection at this: http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/mis/1059415260.html

So, it looks like the 2010 NAHBS is in Richmond at the end of February.

I wanna go...

this was awesome last year. i'll be in mexico this time around, but i recommend going.

I am planning to go. Room for 2 more in the Prius.

I'll be there yet again. This will be my fifth NAHBS.

i might go to this this year... i was born in richmond!

we should get it in pgh next year.

There was talk a few years ago with Don Walker about Pittsburgh; the union gig at the convention center trampled that idea. There was a thread on bikeforums detailing just how expensive the CC would be.

ok... who goin?

i'm planning on driving friday night, back on sunday... if anyone wants to come, or anyone that is going wouldn't mind +2 to their car I'd pitch in for gas

I think I'll be hitching along with a few friends.

if you're actually hitchiking we'll be going in a van if we don't get a ride with room for bikes.

Not hitchhiking so much as I'm getting a ride in their car; thanks for the offer though.

If someone is going for one day or just overnight and has room for my gf and I please contact me. We are willing to put in for gas, buy lunch and pitch in for a hotel if needed. Thank you all.

i'll be hanging out with jeff at the urban velo booth. say what's up.

For those attending, this came up on the iBob list about fun things going on down there:

"Subject: [BOB] NAHBS - Richmond Virginia

Folks

I know a few of you will likely show up for the NAHBS in Richmond and here's a couple of extra curricular events. make sure to bring a bike. after all it's a bike show. Here's a 4 mile loop to the legendary Legend Brewery

http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Convention-Center-to-Legends-Return

It's a bike friendly route with views from two (wide) bridges across the James River. Well worth the ride, day or night even if you don't stop at Legends and Capital Ale House is 4 blocks or so away..for those who feel the need to be bipeds instead of bicyclists.

NAHBS Ride -Tour du Richmond

RABA will also be sponsoring a ride to show of the River City to our out of

town visitors. We're calling it the Tour du Richmond. We have a fun,

twelve mile loop to see some of Richmond's historic sites and enjoy our fair

city. We can always use additional ride leaders, so please feel free to join

us for the ride.
