The Cycle Show 2009

Will be there also. I went two years ago and thought it was shit but I expect it'll be more interesting this time round.

Will be there also. I went two years ago and thought it was shit but I expect it'll be more interesting this time round.

only thing that will have changed is more otp fixies and ebikes
and now they have a pretty cool looking bmx ramp set up

please do let us know how it goes getting in. You got your business cards and letterheads ready?

pff. you really think they give a shit?

i'm a company director, how do they know i have no business there?

I'm in tomorrow, will say hi to any folk there...

Well not anyone, obv. But maybe people in LFGSS shirts.

the Charge stand was easily the best last year......

not too busy today, but still quite full, tomorrow will be crazy.

forum people today included The Mighty Schick, Fast Eddy and RP, Texas and a few others.

My mind has gone numb from being on the go for 13 hours solid with no rest

same approach I used :)
... cept I really have got a security product for bikes on my mind... :)

So, things you should see...

Moulton!

yes, Moulton as they have on their stand a NEW (finished 2.30am last night or something) TSR2 which has a belt drive..
.. also a 953 Super Record Stainless Steel framed toy. The seatpost is uber light.. just try it.

If you're hungry, Torq and others are doing free samples of all of their energy/recovery things. Check Mule bars for the fairtrade organic certified stuff. (rather nice)

Check TFL, do the superhighway simulator - get your speed as high as possible :) but also note it's the current things made a bit wider painted blue..

check what they do at bus stops, and look for the bit where they cut the road narrowing to a wider section without showing what happens to the bike lane. Do tell TFL how happy/not happy you are.
Try out the Velib bikes, not as bad as you'd think - slick gear changes on the one I tried.

Brompton have an engineer building bikes on the stand (real bikes for real customers) - very interesting to watch. 2010 changes nice - the hub dynamo is a 'Son' and bloody nice. they have one that'll work on my Moulton.. loss of 1W @ 30Km/h when the light isn't turned on.

Lots more to see (fixed Airnimal Chameleon, wtf!) - if you get there early, get to the small stands you want to see - they're the ones that won't cope with the crowds. the larger stands have a lot of people.

There tomorrow + Sunday, I'll have the 531 Awesome Tshirt on, and a backpack with some weird dots on it ;) I actually have some meetings. gosh. :)

Hehehe...So bikes are cool now?

Anyone know what bike parking is like at Earls Court?

Brompton have sponsored an indoor valet parking type system whereby they attach a label to your bike and one to your arm, and no-one leaves with a bike without having the matching armband.

The capacity of this is a few hundred. And it's at the back (up the road on the left) when viewed from Earls Court tube station.

It's in the building itself... go through the rear entrance, sort your tickets out, then the corridor on the left.

...
create even had their own stand.

EVEN CREATE??? As in Unipack???? The UniCrap has a stand at a bike show? That is disgusting. I hope unhappy customers vent their anger!

Woo, just got some free tickets to the show from a friend! Will be there on sunday.
