EVENTS
COREbike is expected to return to Whittlebury Hall this year, albeit in March instead of its usual late January dates. This decision was taken by organisers to help avoid further adding to the possible heightened pressure on the NHS following Christmas and New Year gatherings, and the potentially improved weather in late-March should also allow improved ventilation at the venue. Taipei Cycle will take place physically next month too, while Taipei Cycle DigitalGo, its virtual show running in parallel, will begin on the same day and end on 8th April. And The Cycle Show will return this year – taking place in London from 22nd to 24th April alongside the London eBike Festival powered by Shimano Steps. The latter had been set
to debut in May 2020 before Covid disrupted its plans, but is now all set for launch at Alexandra Palace with exhibitor packages selling out before Christmas. iceBike will be online for the second year running in the form of digiBike – to find out more about what to expect, check out our full interview with Madison and Sportline CEO Dominic Langan on pages 7-8. But what does this all mean for the trade show calendar looking forward? Are we finally in a place where we can look forward to future in-person events again without concern they’ll be postponed? While many are optimistic I wouldn’t be surprised if some caution still lingers, but how much remains to be seen.

digiBike 21st February to 18th March, online digiBike will be a whole month of content, bringing everything expected at iceBike but in a digital format.
