Philadelphia Bike Expo
Starting in 2018, Piscitello Law joined the ranks of thousands of cycling advocates, activists and artisans supporting the Philly Bike Expo. While most exhibitors are bike shops, organizations, bike manufacturing and all things in between … we decided that the Piscitello Bike Law crew had something valuable to share. In fact, it was an outstanding opportunity for us to meet people from all over the tri-state who are passionate about cycling. We have been sponsors of the Philly Bike Expo every year since 2018. There are three main ways that we connect with folks at the Expo: Chatting with people at our table; presenting our Bike Law Talk seminar; and sponsoring the free Bike Valet Parking.

Tabling
Every year, we get the chance to have informal conversations with people who stop by our table to chat about bike safety. We are always happy to see and reconnect with former clients, cycling friends and associates.
Sharing our Space with our pals at PICL
We have been sharing our tent space with our friends at the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Cycling Association (PICL) for several years. We support PICL’s fantastic mission to get more kids involved in cycling throughout the commonwealth of PA. The annual Bike Expo is a great venue to spread some PICL love to more families.
Bike Law Seminars
There are a wide range of seminars presented every year at the Expo. Our team uses the seminar platform as a chance to discuss cycling safety, laws and related auto insurance. These talks are designed to raise awareness and to discuss current issues and the legislative changes needed to make our streets safe for cycling and walking. We look forward to our seminar this year, March 8, 2025, in which we discuss the Biking Protected Bike Lane, Automated Speed Cameras and the Jay Alert law. Our speakers include Nicole Brunet, Bicycle Coalition of Philadelphia, and Ayeshia Poole and Jasmine Hoffman from Families for Safe Streets.
Sponsor Free Bike Valet
Our firm sponsors a free bike valet, which makes it possible for fellow cyclists to drop off their bikes while they roam through the many exhibits of the Bike Expo. The Neighborhood Bike Works organization gets the credit for doing all the heavy lifting of handling thousands of bikes during the weekend conference.
Background on the Philly Bike Expo
The Philly Bike Expo started in 2010 and was founded by Stephe Bilenky of Bilenky Cycle Works. The Expo has grown every year since then and is now owned and operated by Stephen’s daughter, Bina. The PBE hosted 5,000 attendees in 2024 along with almost 200 exhibitors.
