The inaugural SoCal Bike Expo is a free, outdoor cycling festival and industry gathering at Central Park in Santa Clarita, within Los Angeles County. The main public expo runs Friday through Sunday with bicycle and Class 1 e-bike demos on a dirt-and-singletrack course, a separate Class 2 and 3 e-bike dirt course, brand exhibits, a vintage bike show, food, cafes, a beer garden, autograph signings, giveaways and repeated Super Rider head-to-head skill-sprint demonstrations. Mountain-bike riders are also pointed toward the new Haskell Canyon Bike Park and local open-space trails; the organizer lists a Thursday Ride with the Pros preview day but has not published a meeting time or athlete roster. Weekend ride programming includes shop rides to the expo on Saturday and Sunday and a Saturday evening Canyon Bike Shop Ride Out from Central Park to Old Town Newhall that explicitly welcomes BMX and wheelie bikes. Saturday evening also includes free screenings of Down For Life and Deathgrip 2 in Old Town Newhall. General public admission is free and no consumer ticket is advertised. Verified bicycle dealers and shop employees can register free for parking, hotel shuttles, bike valet, discounts, raffles, swag and industry-party invitations. Dealer registration does not guarantee public access to the Friday industry party, which is limited to exhibitors and registered dealers. Central Park parking is limited; the organizer plans a secondary lot and hotel shuttles but has not yet named the overflow lot or published routes. Because the event includes rideable MTB demo terrain, Haskell Canyon trail activity, skills demonstrations and a BMX-focused ride out, TrickBook classifies it under both mountain biking and BMX rather than unrelated conventional cycling.

September 13, 2026: re-audited every retained source and the TrickBook-hosted feature image; added exact first-party Instagram provenance for free public admission, dates/venue, Ride with the Pros, BMX-rooted exhibitor participation and dealer-party access; normalized the active event status to upcoming.
