Went last year, big shop, some BMX stuff going on too.
Maybe of interest if you're in the 'trade' for contacts etc, otherwise just a big shop.Posted 12 years ago # -

I might visit for the morning, and then potter up to Milngavie to see if I can find any remains of Bennie's structure.

We pulled out a few weeks ago - bit of a pain for the organisers so we had a bit of apologising to do.
Should be ok we think but not sure overall what the benefit the show has to actual cycling as a pastime.
We were going to keep our display pretty simple and have no retail but then again it is so expensive in money and time to go i can see why companies retail to try to cover it all.

We'll be going to a pretentious circus in Glasgow on Sunday anyway so we might be able to pop in for a bit. I quite enjoyed it last year. And unless they are bumping the price up on the day, it looks a little cheaper than last year (I though £10 was too much).

Actually, would this not be an ideal place to get the #POP28 message out, have those involved organised a stand/place to sign petition etc?

We'll be leafleting outside. :)
(as well as seeing if some standholders will put up a poster).

We went. I enjoyed it but sadly the stunt cyclists were all at the back so you could only get round one side to watch. This meant a crowd several deep that it was difficult to see through. Still good fun though and I got a new rack pack (always wanted one) and some bike floss for my gritty bits. Some nice bikeflesh on offer including side-by-side recumbent trikes which looked cool. I also met Magnatom of youtube video fame at the POP stand.
