Thursday is the trade day at the Cycle Show, being staged at Birmingham NEC. Here's some pix of the show & the MTB test track.

Cycle Show is looking bright in Brum

The Cycle Show opens its doors at 9am on Thursday, with the official opening by Olympic champion Geraint Thomas.

The trade day includes seminars on WorkRiders, the new Cycle to Work scheme initiative, and on selling electric bikes, by Mark Loveridge of Ultramotor.

Here are a selection of pix from the last build-up day. The outdoor MTB test track is looking – and riding – particularly fine, especially given the fabulous weather the show is graced with. Register for the show here. Trade badges work for entry on public days, too.
