I greatly enjoyed the Festival. I found it very refreshing to not feel
like people were only intrested in making money. - D. Wilson |

What fun! Can you put me in touch with this shoe bicycle person or have
him contact me. I am interested in his shoe for a convention in New Orleans
next year. - D. McCollum |

Thanks for hosting another great Bike Fest for 2003. I bought a beautiful
pair of unmolested pre WWII Shelby's to add to my collection. Louisiana
has an eclectic and creative custom bike culture as well as a number of
serious vintage bike collectors. This year's show was much improved by
the addition of several new prize catagories (good prizes too !). Combine
this with the friendly town of Abita Springs, the bike trail, the variety
of outstanding restarants, and the proximity to New Orleans and you have
the potential to make this the best bike show in the southeast.- J. Robertson |

Hi - Carmen and I plan on commimg to the bike festival again this year--had
a blast last year. - S. Lingo |

Greetings - I've been excited about this years fest lately. now that the
weather's getting warmer, I've been out in the garage working on a couple
new bikes. My plan involves bringing many bikes and many friends. I wouldn't
want to impose, but maybe myself and a friend or two could bring the trailer(or
trailers) of bikes over the night before with tent and supplies to get
an earlier start. We were a little late last year, but most my friends
work or party late and do not get moving too early in the morning (especially
on Sunday). I am starting to spread the word though and get the fire under
people to motivate about the fest this year. - S. Struck |

Kudos to all the people that put on the Louisiana Bicycle Festival in
Abita Springs, Louisiana. The festival was a family-oriented event, centered
on the Louisiana anthem, "Laizez Le Bon Temps Roulez!" (Let
the good times roll). Festival-goers were not only allowed to view an
eclectic assortment of bicycles, but were able to ride them, as well.
There was a wide variety of bikes - pristine antiques, recumbents, choppers,
and a large number of kustom bikes. It was fun to see everyone, from toddlers
to seniors caught up in the event. The Bike Fest is shaping up to be the
perfect community celebration reflecting this new spirit- a community-wide
bike-oriented block party, unlike any other bike meet we've encountered.
Abita Springs is like a fantasy of the bike-advocacy crowd, in which the
good guys win. What a concept! It's a safe assumption that next year's
event will be even more fun. - BikeRod&Kustom
