May 1, 2022 will be the 40th Anniversary of the Biggest, Oldest, and the Best Antique and Classic Bicycle Show in the Nation.

This annual one day event held at the Monroe County Fair Grounds, 3775 S. Custer Rd., Monroe, Michigan will host over 250 dealers from across the continent. At the last show the weather was absolutely wonderful. For those who were there it was a lot of fun and it seemed very crowded. We gave away 4 brand new collector bikes and many other great bicycle gifts

 

VENDOR SET UP is Saturday April 30 from 1pm-7pm ($20 fee) and Sunday 6:45am-8am.

 

The $5 Public admission (kids 10 and under FREE) to the Show at 8:00am provides the public with a variety of opportunities to participate in the bicycle collecting hobby like nowhere else in the nation.

 

First and foremost are the Show bikes. Awards are presented to the first place winners in such categories as Best Unrestored, Best Lady's, Best Motorized Bike, Best Custom Classic, Best Early Classic, and the Best Bike of each decade 1930 through 1970. Entry is only $5.

 

Next is the “Classic Bike of the Year Award”. This is a judged event, which focuses on some of the finest, rarest and most sought after bicycles in the bicycle collecting hobby. All of these bicycles are from private collections and are seldom seen outside of museums or auctions. The winner will be crowned “Classic Bike of the Year 2022”. The entry is $10.

 

The Show features a Classic Bike Corral located right outside the main entrance to the EXPO building. You can sell your bike in the Corral for only $10 and let the crowd decide it's value. If no one meets the owner's asking price, the bike goes back to the owner and they'll get $5 back. The result is an appraisal from the crowd for only $5.

 

The $5 cost for the public to get into the Show includes a free door prize ticket. Prizes will be given away each ½ hour. This year, a minimum of 4 new collector bikes (not yet determined) will be given away to some lucky winners.You must be present to win and you can only get a chance by coming to the show. Extra tickets available.

 

To all vendors: Rain or Shine, the show is on!

 

We promote this show as a great event for the entire family. The bicycle displays will surely bring back many interesting memories to all the grown-ups whether it’s their first bike, their paper route bike, or even the bike that got stolen. It’s also an opportunity to fulfill a dream and finally get the bike you always wanted.

 

Once one learns how to ride a bike, one never forgets that first feeling of freedom and excitement. Here’s a great chance to see what this great hobby is all about, take some pictures of the bike you had as a kid and share a great family day together having a unique experience that only happens once a year. This event is mostly indoors, so rain or shine the show is on.
