The London Bike Show rides into town

Following on from its successful debut in 2011, the London Bike Show returns to London ExCeL from 12 January.

The 2012 event reflects last year’s popularity with double the number of exhibitors present to demonstrate the very latest bikes and cycling accessories.

Some of world’s top cyclists and professional display teams will also be on hand, including the Animal Bike Tour, who will show off the kind of skills that make the rest us wonder what exactly we spent our childhood doing.

The show will include a Cool Wall containing the very latest advances and developments in bike technology.

For most us the show is a great chance to catch all the major bike manufacturers and their latest offerings, whether touring, racers, commuters, mountain bikes or BMX, all under one roof.

Wannabe Olympians should head to the Bike Rader Training Hub, where experts will give the kind of scientific fitness and performance consultation normally only enjoyed by the pros. This service would normally cost in excess of £400, but will be offered for just £99, a figure that includes entry to the show.

Those with less ambitious plans can pay the standard show entry fee of £16 for adults and £13 over OAP’s. Under 16s go free. Buy your tickets online here.

The show runs from 12-15 January and is open between 10.00-19.00 on each day. It closes an hour earlier on the final evening.
