The Shiny Side Up Bicycle & Car Show is a popular community event that celebrates the custom bicycle & car culture, with a focus on bringing together enthusiasts of all kinds. Shiny Side Up is an annual event and 2025 marks 22 years since our first show! This show features a wide range of bicycles (vintage, custom, BMX) and cars/trucks (lowriders, VWs, street rods & mini trucks)Here are a few key aspects about the event:
1. Bicycles & Cars in One Place:
The event typically showcases a broad mix of two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles. On the bicycle side, you’ll often see everything from custom builds to vintage bikes, old school BMX bikes, and more. On the car side, expect a mix of hot rods, classic muscle cars, lowriders, mini trucks and more.
2. Community Vibe:
The show tends to have a very community-driven atmosphere. It’s more than just a display; it's a gathering where enthusiasts, families, and even local vendors come together to share their love of bikes and cars. Many events are family-friendly, often with activities for kids, food trucks, live music, and other attractions.
3. Show and Shine:
The term "shiny side up" refers to keeping the vehicle upright and shiny, which plays into the idea that the show is a "Show and Shine," where participants display their awesome rides.
