and suppliers are experiencing, and we want to contribute to the industry’s recovery through Eurobike 2025. Our primary target audience for trade visitors is bicycle dealers, for whom we offer networking opportunities and training programs. In this new edition of the show, we are enhancing our commitment to the specialist trade sector.
