At ExCel. Also includes the Triathlon show (formerly of Sandown Park) Outdoor Show and The Dive Show.


Did anyone go last year and was it worth it? I have the Friday free so thought about it. I'm not after anything specific, just haven't been.

It's £16 on the door.

Also the MCN Motorcycle show is on at same venue the same weekend, if anyone is interested in the motorised versions! Although I suspect you will have to pay for each.

Looks like it's another £17

TBH if it was a tenner, Id do both. Haven't been to the bike show since mid noughties I guess at Ally Pally. Quality of young lady for Promo purposes is (at least was) high

Well I went anyway

Order of popularity.

Holidays/Training Camps
Charity Stands
Road Bikes
Mountain Bikes
4 BMX's (only really 'cause it was GT)

Traithlon show was smaller than when it was at Sandown Park

Had a cursory look round the outdoor show. Didn't see much of the Ocean thing.

Listened to Chris Boardman.

Few random pics






Like this Canyon Aeroad


Hannah is there tomorrow.


Classic with 8 speed hub gears and a price tag which was a bit tough!


Clean CF


I've not done the Cable Cars before. Bit step at £3.50 each way and a queue!

I wouldn't go again. Promo girls were few but nice. Not stunners. But nice,

Did consider the MCN show, but was losing interest generally at this point. I'm sure someone will put pics up in Biker Banter

I went yesterday, absolute bobbins. I felt like I'd paid to go into a poorly stocked shop. Lunch £11 for a chicken sandwich and a can of pop.

My mate came up from South Devon for the Dive Show today, he was there 20 minutes and went home again.

I bought a coffee £2.80 so "standard" price.

Bought lunch from the Tesco 400m down the road. £3 meal deal for the win

Like I say, I wouldn't go again. Probably will go to the cycle Show at the NEC in September though

My mate had the same idea, sit on a Canyon to test it for size as he is in limbo on their size guide between a S or M. He was not allowed on the bike "loads of people will then try it and itll be a nightmare".

Completely ridiculous for a direct sales only company !!

Funny that! That's very similar to what Matt said with a few Fs thrown in LOL

Id be inclined to email Canyon about that.

Or maybe ask to pop into their UK base
