Interbike next week
by Richard MasonerJust a quick note that I will be at Interbike on behalf of Commute By Bike and the Crooked Cog Network. I promise to post plenty of photos and maybe some video, along with product previews. If you have any special requests please feel free to post them here and I’ll see what I can do.
Interbike, of course, is the huge bicycle industry tradeshow that takes place every autumn in Las Vegas. Products are introduced to dealers and buyers. I expect to see a lot of new commuting gear at this year’s show. Interbike 2006 was the year of the e-bike — let’s see what’s in store for 2007.
Anything you can find out about the new Civia cycles will be deeply appreciated!
