With the recent Eurobike and Interbike shows still fresh in our memeries we set off to the National Exhibition Centre with little enthusiasm. We’ve been spoilt by the biggest shows on the planet, how could Brum come close? Well, we expected it to be boring and we were wrong. It was blimming great. The public days will be the new venue’s real test but what was obvious from speaking to exhibitors is that the UK cycle industry is in good health. They’re all doing very well thank you. The bouyancy and optimism which was evident at the Bristol Handmade Show earlier in the year is not restricted to that tiny niche – it’s industry wide. And long may it continue.
