This allowed Cyclefest to effectively expand to fi ve cities this season, with plans for further growth in the future. “We were excited for the oppor- tunities that Cyclefest offered us. Tradeshow Productions is an extremely reputable company with a solid track record of successful shows,” commented Derek Smith, President of Iron Cowboy Productions, LLC. “I really believe in the approach that they have taken. Solid shows with reasonable costs for attendees and something for people to see!” “You can’t simply invite a few dealers out with a few factory models, and call that a show. You need to have something more - something unique,” according to Smith. Cyclefest has reached out into the motorcycle community and sought to involve everyone in their event. Local dealers are encouraged to participate and are encouraged to showcase the newest models available. Local Harley- Davidson dealers such as D&D Buckman in Dayton and Western Reserve in Cleveland have already joined on board. Honda, Triumph, Victory, Big Dog, and Suzuki factory lines will also be represented. Events such as Ohio Bike Week have also joined as promotional partners with Cyclefest. Steve Ernst from Ohio Bike Week feels that Cyclefest offers great opportunities for them, “Ohio Bike Week is really expanding their pro- gram this year, looking to develop partners and events throughout the state leading up to our North Coast Rally in June. Cyclefest is a great way for us to effectively spread our message and meet with riders throughout the Midwest.” Cyclefest has built their shows around custom bike builders, incorporating some of the big- gest names in the industry and certainly the Midwest. Dave Perewitz and Kendall Johnson are just a few of the nationally known builders that have made Cyclefest appearances.
