I'm hoping by now that everyone knows this is going to be the 40th Anniversary of the Show & Swap Meet but in an even Bigger and Improved "NEW Location" ! ... This being said, we are hoping that there will be a Big Turn-out of SHOW BICYCLES this year ! ... The Main EXPO Building will have plenty of space for those planning to Show that special bicycle. Bring Them Out and be the winners of the 40th Anniversary Show ! ... Photos will be posted on the New Monroe Classic Bike Web page too !

- First and foremost are the Show bikes. Typically, 50 to 75 bicycles are entered into twelve categories and the public votes for its favorites. Awards are presented to the first place winners in such categories as Best Unrestored, Best Lady’s, Best Motorized Bike, Best Early Classic, Best Custom Classic, Best BMX, Best Tricycle and the Best Bike of each decade 1930 through 1970.

Show bikes inside main entrance to EXPO building include everything from 1800's high wheelers to Classic Balloon tire bicycles to 1960s-70s BMX bikes and vintage racers. ($5. for each bike entered).

- 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”.
