Scottish Bike Show

This weekend sees our biggest date of the year so far.  This is the fourth year of the The Scottish Bike Show and the second one to be held at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome.  We were at the first one at the SECC and are really looking forward to seeing how it has changed since then.  At the first one we had a Forest Track.


This time we are going to be taking the Pump Track and a selection of our smaller features and using a layout like this.

It's good when going back to an event to be able to do things differently and with a fresh take on things.  The above layout should allow us to get more people on the bikes, offer a more varied experience while still being a lot of fun.

We were at the Velodrome last year at an event for summer holiday activities for school children.  Unfortunately we were unable to see the Velodrome itself so hopefully we'll get the chance to see it up close this time.  We might even manage a spin round it at one of the taster sessions.  Along with the taster sessions there will be interactive workshops, demonstrations, talks by cycling experts, enthusiasts and manufacturers in the SBS theatre throughout the weekend, displays by The Clan and plenty of other things to see and do.  Lots to inspire you to get out on your bike, so hopefully we'll see you there.
