I drove there last year and it was worth it for the day. Don't think I will bother again though. It was good to see it once, but it is so big there is no chance to get through everything in one day. If you go have a list of things you want to see, otherwise you will get tied up with looking at other things and won't get to see everything you want. It is hard to believe exactly how big it is!!!

Anyone else interested? BikeRadar are doing a LOT of coverage of the pretty things on display, see their main index here.
Apparently, there are a lot of belt drives ...
... and electric bikes on display this year: |

It's great because it's completely clean (no oil is needed), weighs about 300 grams less than the equivalent chainrings and chain, and is expected to last three times longer.

Since no-one on the forum seems interested and the other guy from Lausanne who was going to come with us has dropped out, we've decided not to go to Eurobike this year. We'll stay here and ride our bikes instead. |

Hi any updates for that "Eurobike" event? http://www.eurobike-show.com/eb-en/visitors/index.php
It's in 2 weeks apparently, there: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Friedr...fen&hl=en&z=10
Can you order a bike for cheaper there?
For example you get a few percent off the normal price?
Can you buy interesting parts? (like lamps, accessories...)?
Is that overpriced or decent prices things?
Thanks! |

Euro bike is this year 31st August to 3rd September. But the general public can only attend on Saturday 3rd September. The other days are trade only.
You can't purchase anything at the show, it is purely a place for the brands to show what they have on offer for 2012 and for shop owners, or people connected in the industry in some way to get up close and personal with next years products.
TBH, the public day is insane. I went to it once and there were too many people around, it was a bit of a push to get where you wanted to go and the people working on the stands had already had enough and were just looking to get home.
I'll be heading up there myself, but this year I get avoid the hustle and bustle of the public day and go during the week.

Yes I new about displaying new ranges...
I was hoping to peek at Canyon's 2012 ranges. (I already had a peak there: http://www.adopte1vtt.fr/tag/vtt-canyon-2012/
And ideally getting a small discount ordering a 2011 version or 2012 one...
But apparently it's only for display. I thought it would be more like a "preview shop" but it seems only a "preview show".
Thanks for the information!
