Tickets for the 2015 edition of The Cycle Show, the ‘UK’s number one cycling exhibition’, have now been released.
The annual event will be hosted at the Birmingham NEC again this year. Opening its doors exclusively to cycle trade and press on Thursday 24 September, The Cycle Show returns with 170 exhibitors already having confirmed their presence. Members of the trade are also permitted entry into the show on all three public days, from 25-27 September.
The ever-popular annual event attracts some of the best brands in cycling across mountain biking, BMX, commuter and road cycling. Among the bicycle brands to make their show debut this year are Canyon and Planet X, along with show regulars, such as Trek, Vitus, Bianchi, Condor, Raleigh and Boardman.
Among the distributors to showcase their new bike and product ranges for the year ahead are ATB Sales, Madison, Moore Large, Windwave, Extra UK, Chicken Cyclekit, i-Ride, Upgrade, Fli, Silverfish and Bob Elliot, bringing the world’s most premium brands in the industry together under one roof.
With the increasing importance of looking good on and off the bike, the Cycle Show will also host a selection of cycling apparel brands, including Vulpine, Lusso Clothing, Primal Europe and Compressport. They will be joined by a selection of sports nutrition and cycling travel experts showing off their latest products and services.
Following its success last year and increasing profile within the cycling community, Cyclocross racing will be held on Saturday 26 September, and this time around includes elite men and elite women’s races as well as men’s, women’s and junior amateur races. The events, organised by Just Ride, will start and finish inside the show, with a bigger course extending outdoors into the woodlands of the NEC grounds.
Attendees will also be able to enjoy the return of the UK’s biggest dirt-jumping contest, with Sam Pilgrim inviting the sport’s best riders to the NEC.
Other 2015 activities include the Mountain Bike Demo Track, the Dare 2b Premium Road Track, BMX Spine Ramp, Electric Bicycle Village and Kids Demo Track, allowing visitors of all ages and interests to get introduced and test ride the latest bicycles.
As last year, this is in addition to a full programme of seminars and Q&As with pro riders and cycling journalists, on the ever-popular Stage. Topics up for discussion with cycling experts include advice and tips on everything from bike fit to nutrition.
