It’s a unique chance to see the very latest bikes, clothing and accessories before they hit the shops – and this year there’s even more to see because the show is even bigger. With hundreds of brands under one roof, ranging from large manufacturers like Specialized and Scott to small specialist builders and designers, the Cycle Show is an essential day out for every kind of cyclist.
