Maggie and I went to the Bike Show today. It was well attended, despite the snow, and there was a good buzz and lots going on. The thing about the Excel Centre, where it's being held, is that you've got lots of space, so they've made an indoor race track, for example. People were whizzing around on test bikes while we were there, but there's a proper indoor Crit tomorrow evening, which looks like a lot of fun.
Plenty of fancy bikes to lust after; bike holidays, bike clothing and even cars to carry your bike. Jaguar had a big stand, for example. Cycling's definitely on a roll at the moment.
I've picked a few out for the photo - Ricky Feather's Rapha Continental, winner of the Bristol Handmade show last year, on the Microsoft stand, for Heaven's sake. Light Blue had a very pretty Reynolds 853 roadster, plenty of fancy fixies - this one is a Pinarello, and, speaking of Pinarello, the new Dogma is there for ten thousand quid.
Well, if you've got to ask the price ...
