Monday:The RCUK return to the offices after only just about managing to take in all that Eurobike had to offer. We’ve seen lots of interesting new bikes and components, scoped out the clothing you’ll be wearing next year. We currently wading through the 1000s of photos so keep a close eye on the site over the following days.

Thursday:Richard and I are currently in Friedrichshafen, Germany, where this year’s Eurobike is based. It may be a nice place to visit when it isn’t pelting down with rain, which it has been since we arrived yesterday.

The demo day, held on the day proceeding the opening of the show, was a washout – needless to say we elected to take shelter inside our Hymer caravan. Yes that’s right, our accommodation for the next few days is not a five-star hotel, but a house on wheels.

But despite the moody weather and cramped living conditions, we’ll be bringing you pictures of all the shiny bikes, new 2008 releases, and anything else that takes our fancy. So, stay tuned for regular updates.
