NEC Cycle Show

Anyone else going?
Been a couple of times and it's usually a good day out, my 1st year as a 'roadie' so interested in looking at some shiny bits, but also still a BMXer at heart so the contest arena is always a draw.
Usually go on the Friday but think it's going to be the Saturday this year, is it much busier?

Yes, I fancy going but I might only be able to go Friday. Need to check with work

Thursday's trade day for me.

Nope, I'm not going now. Decided to save the day off work for a holiday later plus it's £54 return on the train! Robbing bds.

My birthday day outing with my two kids! Enjoyed it last year, not a huge event but enough for a decent day out. Good test track for kids to try out bikes as well

Tickets not arrived yet

It's got a great selection of kit.
You get to see all the shiny new stuff, trouble is it's pretty near impossible to buy much. Last year I wanted to buy a mtb for my son and I wanted done new wheels - I came back with neither 😢
I did get some bargain wheel bags and lights but went home disappointed really.

Shows are never cheaper by the time you buy tickets, fuel, parking, food and drink it's soon cheaper to go to the LBS or online.
