Eurobike is a bike show on a massive scale, it contains some of the best bikes out there and also some of the worst. It houses every imaginable accessory however weird, wonderful or questionably useful it might be. I went on a mission to search out some of the most random bits of kit, the odd bikes, the strange or wonderful displays and some odd goings on. It was harder than it looked, I had photos of odd looking fat bikes coming out of my ears by the time I finished, quirky bikes merging into one mutant form! So, here’s what I came up with……
Bamboo bikes from ‘myBoo’. Sustainable bikes handmade in Ghana through the non-profit organisation The Yonso Project
Closca Design seem to have solved a problem no one knew existed with their collapsible helmet, the FugaThe Fox stand held a competition – who can hammer the nail into the wood with the least hits. Why? Who knows…….Any form of transport allowed to get yourself around the 12 massive halls!Manon’s lid from the FortBill DH World Cup sneaking onto the Lazer stand.Mural artwork for World Bicycle ReliefSandwichbikes.com – bikes created from two weather coated frames of layered plywood weighing in at 16kg!Legend Shaun Palmer ‘presenting’ a limited run of replica bikes coinciding with the release of Intense’s new carbon downhill rig the M16C.Finnish brand ‘Jopo’ with their offering to the fat bike market, for extra grip on the pedal to the shop!Stands come in all shapes and sizes and the connections between the display and the product is not always obvious!Ah, Rachel, glad you could make it!A chainless e-bike from company ‘Mando’, they refer to it as a car rather than a bike with its hybrid power system and electronic control unit regulating its functions.The Electra display was the most colourful by far!Jewellery or functional gear….. I wasn’t sure either…
Bees Bikes – Maybe the bike with the most confusing identity yet – e-bike, fat bike, hard tail and full sus all in one….
