Cycle Show 2024 Cancelled. Alternatives

[Bonefishblues]

Excellent for cycle perving, were one of that particular proclivity:

So: BESPOKED UK 28-30.6.24
MANCHESTER, ENGLAND

I went to one in Bristol (possibly the last pre-Covid?). Enjoyed it enormously - a really cosy venue, lots of interesting people selling shiny and/or weird sh... stuff. Good talks too (anyone heard of Chris King??)

We may have been at the same one. I made a mental note to grow a beard before going again

Shiny stuff, beautifully crafted in the main.

I think the NEC one is still on.

Though the last time I went, it was mostly obscure Chinese e-bikes, not much to interest the road and touring market.

I went in 2022. There was a discussion here, not everyone had the same view ....
I cannot find the thread (thanks, forum search tool ), but apparently did post about it (much) later:

I went last year, and my opinion was far higher than that of this forums' members! So I'll take comments here with a pinch of salt ..

But for me, the speakers were a big part of it. I've just checked this year's list - how people could see all those and have NOTHING positive to say is just baffling. Oh well, you can't please everyone ...

I agree regarding the speakers. I watched a Q&A with Kirsten Wild and even got to ask her a couple of questions.

Everyone that was anyone was there.

Dude.

(I've never met so many people I vaguely knew from long-distance/audax type riding in one place. outside of a PBP start/finish! )
