F-Stop Junkie Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Singletrack Story We don't know why, visitor numbers seem up, there's a good selection of riders attending, but no more show. Right, all down to the Cycle show (Y) EDIT: I've checked the BikeBiz story. Numbers weren't up, but the show did make money, and visitors were keen with the riding displays. One quote asked what Future will do without a show, and if it'll go on hiatus next year, then come back in 2007 perhaps back under Future Publishing control, or perhaps they'll persuade Chris Holman back? Maybe not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 if it is over I am sooooooo glad I rode at this years show, it had always been a dream of mine and I would have hated to have missed out. I really hope it isnt over, the bike show was the highlight of the year, ever since I first got into riding the bikeshow had a sort of mystical feeling, it was ace.

F-Stop Junkie Posted November 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 The bike show was the highlight of the year, ever since I first got into riding the bikeshow had a sort of mystical feeling, it was ace. I couldn't have put it better myself. I've only missed two years the show has been running - '95 and '04. I've threatened to leave jobs over it, stressed over it, commentated at it, and every single moment has been amazing.

PaRtZ Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 bloody spandex lovers !! Thats quite harsh don't you think? If the reason is they cant be bothered anymore then fair enough, but what if 3 of the main organiser had tragically died? thats not really they're fault now is it?

totaltrials Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I got a letter through from Haymarket today saying they will not be running the bike show 2006, not that it will not be going ahead. Basically what i gather is Haymarket is a company which is contracted to organise the show, all that will happen is that the show will be run by another company, I'm sure something will happen as there is a lot of money to be made by a marketing/exhibition company.

Haymarket is a huge company owned by Michael Hesseltine, based in Hammersmith. They do alot of the magazines people see on the shelves, but they also do alot of shows. They organise Nass, Bike Show, Sprite Urban Games, Gardening shows, Max Power etc. I worked with them this summer for the Urban Games, it seems strange that they're not running it any more, they'd already started doing the preliminary organising stuff - ages ago :D Was the letter from Rupert, Phil?
