Padua is one of the principal municipalities for cycling infrastructure and ExpoBici corroborates its position as cycling capital of Italy: the City of Saint Anthony is now synonymous with cycling business and culture.

An annual increase in the number of attendees, the unanimous satisfaction of exhibitors and visitors, the quality of products on show, all of these aforementioned factors have contributed towards making Padua the Italian reference point for the cycling industry: a not-to-be-missed event for enthusiasts and professionals looking for innovation and trends from the world of two wheels.
