Which Hall are you in?
The National Cycling Show is in Hall 12.
What are the Show opening times?
The show will be open 9am – 5pm on Saturday 17th June and 9am - 4pm on Sunday 18th June 2023.
Will there be food stalls?
Yes, there will be a number of NEC-managed food stalls, and some of our exhibitors will sell packaged food items.
Will I need ID?
We don’t require ID to gain entry to the Show.
Is there a cloakroom?
The NEC has a cloakroom before you enter the Show. Visitors with a VIP Ticket will have access to a VIP Cloakroom in the VIP Lounge.
Do I need to book to see a speaker?
No, all speaker talks and panels are first come, first served.
How are you working to reduce the carbon footprint at the show?
From working with the venue, looking at ourselves and collaborating with exhibitors. But here's the thing... Visitors' travel is the biggest carbon emitter of each show. So we need your help. Taking the train instead of driving will reduce the emissions of your journey by around 80%. The NEC is a 5 minute walk from Birmingham International train station or 90 seconds by the free air-rail walk. If you need to drive, car share with friends and reduce your impact by 50%. There's a great network of cycle and footpaths in the area and bike racks are near the entrance. There are also electric car charging point and more to come in the future...
My question isn’t here

Can I bring children with me?

K Flatland BMX League - Round 2 of the series.
Flatland is a freestyle BMX style performed without ramps, rails or other obstacles, rather on flat ground or a floor. It's more of an artform than other styles of BMX, with an emphasis on creativity, style and originality, as riders link and mix tricks together. Watch the Amateurs & Professionals battle it out to secure points for end of year ranking to be crowned the UK BMX Champion.

Immersive cycle training using virtual reality technology: a partnership between the Bikeability Trust and Brunel University, London
The Bikeability Trust is working in partnership with Dr Dan Bishop of Brunel University London, to generate evidence that immersive cycle training using virtual reality technology can complement and augment existing Bikeability training for children. It makes them more observant, more aware, and more confident cyclists. The immersive training also enhances children’s attitudes towards cycling on roads.
During the training, the children experience real-world scenarios viewed from a cyclist’s perspective, as they cycle on a static bicycle. They hear pre-recorded instructions that prompt them to look around and become more aware of their surroundings. Dr Bishop and his colleagues have also ‘gamified’ the experience, such that the children collect points, manifested in a series of reward sounds, if they look in the right places at the right times. Unsurprisingly, this gamified approach has proven popular with adolescents, a notoriously difficult group to engage with vis-à-vis cycling as a mode of active travel.
At The National Cycling Show 2023, Dr Dan is bringing immersive cycle training to the activity floor, giving guests the chance to try out the virtual reality training themselves.

WELCOME

at Raccoon Media Group
Welcome to the National Cycling Show! It has taken a solid 11 months to bring this together with a lot of work to ensure that this is a great day out for people who love bikes, are new to the sport or getting back into it after a break.
We have curated this show so that there is something for everyone regardless of age, ability, background or gender. We have created something for the Roadies to MTB riders and eBike fans to purists. We strive to be as inclusive as possible showing that there is a bike for EVERYONE!
What’s on offer? Two stages with amazing speakers and content – The Road and Track Stage sponsored by Sports Tours International and The MTB, Gravel and BMX stage sponsored by Nevis Range will play host to speakers including Ed Clancy, Bethany Shriever, Kriss Kyle, Sir Chris Hoy . Head over to the Agenda button on the Show Guide to see who is speaking, when and where.
What can I do other than shop? Tonnes! After hearing from our speakers you can check out Showcase Alley sponsored by Science in Sport where you can see latest technology and retro bikes which will have everyone drooling. Back by popular demand we have Fusion Extreme at the Show to keep the crowds entertained with demos, displays and workshops. Our inclusive hub delivered by Wheels for All and its collaborators demonstrates that cycling can be truly inclusive. Visit the Her Spirit zone for women starting or developing their journey in cycling. Are you adventurous and love the outdoors? Then visit the Bikepacking and Adventure Biking zone, enjoy drop in clinics and info from top brands and if you have the kids with you then try out the Strider Balance Bike feature or the Huffy Family Zone (FYI adults are also able to try their amazing range of bikes here too!), have you ever wondered what you would do if you were out on a ride and something goes wrong? Visit the CPR feature to learn what to do when things don’t go to plan. Finally, visit Bikeability Trust and Dr Dan Bishop of Brunel University London to take part in the the virtual reality cycling experience.
Are you a bit of a last-minute Larry and don’t have your Father’s Day present yet? This is a perfect place to spend time with your Cycling mad Dad or to grab the perfect gift.
Thank you for spending your time with us and we truly hope you enjoy the second edition of the National Cycling Show!
If you’d like to share any feedback about the event (good or constructive) then please do contact me at any time – your feedback is important and helps us build a better event for the future, so look out for the visitor survey post event too.
Thank you again for coming.

Jenny Lucas-Hill is the Content and Communications Manager for Stolen Goat and VeloVixen. Known unofficially as the resident ‘word nerd’ – she’s passionate about creating content and sharing community stories across blogs, social media and email marketing to equip people with the knowledge, inspiration and motivation that will empower them to get out there and do more of what they love.
Having taken a career-break in her 20s to run her own personal training business before coming back to the world of marketing and communications, Jenny still loves getting active. When she’s not busy tapping away at her laptop, creating content or chatting to members of the Stolen Goat and VeloVixen communities, you’ll most likely find her out swimming, cycling or running as she trains for her next Ironman-distance triathlon. Having started out in triathlon as a total novice in 2016 – only taking up cycling as a “necessary evil” if she wanted to give multisport a go – she now has multiple full and half-Ironman finishes under her belt and loves nothing more than spending time out exploring on two wheels.
David Millar bought his first road bike aged 15 and when he turned 18 he moved to France to race. Two years later, in 1997, he was offered his first professional contract and he was soon winning stages of the Tour de France and La Vuelta a Espana before receiving a suspension for doping in 2004.
Since then, based on his experiences, Millar has become an authoritative voice on anti-doping. In 2008, he became part-owner and rider for the Garmin Slipstream team who became renowned for their strong anti-doping stance. He is the only British rider to have worn all leaders jerseys at the TdF, and has worn the leader’s jersey in all three Grand Tours, and has also won stages in each of them. British National Champ in RR, TT and Pursuit. Captain of Worlds and Olympic teams.
He has written two books, ‘Racing Through the Dark’ and ‘The Racer’, was a consultant on the Stephen Frears film, ‘The Program’ and with director, Finlay Pretsell, has made his own film, ‘Time Trial’, due to be released in 2017.
Since his retirement in 2014, Millar has become a television commentator for ITV and BBC and is working on a number of projects, including a role with British Cycling, helping their Senior Academy Riders transition out of the program. He is also an ambassador for Maserati and Jumeirah.
In 2015, with Richard Pearce, he created the brand CHPT3. The name signifying the third chapter of his life, his professional racing career having been split in two by a doping ban. It creates high end products and so continuing the relationships built, and experience gained, from 18 years racing as professional cyclist.
He lives in Girona, Spain, with his wife, Nicole, and their three children, Archibald, Harvey, and Maxine.
Two-time triathlon world champion (2008 & 2011), Helen is one of Britain’s most celebrated triathletes having represented Team GB at the Olympic Games (2008, 2012 & 2016) and Wales at the Commonwealth Games (2006).
Helen won her first senior world championships in Vancouver in 2008. After reclaiming the world title in 2011, in a summer which included a commanding victory in the London Olympic test event, Helen then overcame injury to place fifth at the 2012 Olympic Games. Another memorable triumph on Gold Coast in 2016 confirmed Helen’s qualification for a third Olympic appearance in Rio, where she finished 19th.
Helen was also British junior champion in 2003 and senior champion in 2006 and boasts several prestigious non-International Triathlon Union event wins including the 2009 London Triathlon.
Following the birth of her second child, and recovery from back surgery, which stopped her competing for three years, Helen returned to professional racing in Dubai 70.3 in 2020. Covid and a few injuries were the deciding factor in Helen retiring from professional triathlon.
Helen now works with Her Spirit as a triathlon coach and is a commentator for World Triathlon.
Helen was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2019 New Year Honours for services to triathlon.

Getting the best out of myself and everyone I work with is my passion. I have had the pleasure of working with some of the best athletes, coaches and business owners in the world.

I love to cycle and swim and currently training to swim the length of Coniston twice in one weekend and Lake Windermere one way for charity.
Dan Butler is a 27 year old High Performance athlete with years of experience and an incredible story. Born in Essex, Dan immediately showed an affinity for all things bikes. Early on his life Dan was diagnosed with Autism and many other mental health issues, but his allowed him to channel everything he was feeling into riding bikes.
Fast forward to when e was 13 years old, Dan contracted Sepsis which resulted in 3 years in hospital and over 20 operations. Ultimately this left Dan with no hip joint and one of the only people in the world with a floating femur.

Mani Arthur is a competitive cyclist and founder of Black Cyclists Network (BCN), the biggest organisation in Europe aimed at encouraging Black people to get into cycling. Mani started cycling in 2009 as part of his commute to work. He rode from London to Copenhagen to raise money for charity in 2011. He caught the cycling bug soon afterwards and started competing in 2014. He was selected to represent Ghana at the 2019 African Championship in Morocco. Mani has since gone on to represent Ghana at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham and will be participating in this year’s World Championships Road Race in Glasgow on 6 August. Mani’s journey led him to create BCN because of the lack of diversity in the sport. In his own words cycling is a difficult sport to get into if you are new to the culture. It can be intimidating. As a result, a lot of black riders ride alone and do not join their local clubs. I created BCN to open the door and remove some of those barriers. Everyone is welcomed at BCN. It doesn’t matter whether you are black or white. The message of creating an inclusive and welcoming space for all is the most important thing.

Known across the world of mountain biking as Gee, the middle Atherton sibling has been a sensation in the sport since the age of 15.
In 2004, at the age of 19, Gee won his first Downhill World Cup on the technically challenging track in the Austrian resort of Schladming. A win at this level may have seemed inevitable after his results in the junior categories, including two World Championship medals, but to gain it at such a young age was outstanding.
That year he also won the National Championships at his first attempt and has gone on to top podiums the world over, finishing in the top five of the World Cup series every year since, most notably taking gold at the 2008 World Championship alongside sister Rachel Atherton, and securing the 2010 Mountain Bike World Cup crown.
With second at the inaugural Red Bull Rampage, the toughest of events to be judged on creativity rather than speed, he demonstrated his all-round talent.
Gee placed second at the end of the 2013 World Cup Series, and took the title as British downhill national champion 2013. He headed into 2014 even more focused and determined, the highlight of his season being the win at the World Championship win at Hafjell. Gee tore into the World Cup competition in Cairns to take the win, but couldn’t find the pace for the podium in a tough field, ultimately finishing his 2014 World Cup season fifth overall.
It was a mixed bag for the Brit in 2015 and 2016, from highs including his Fort William win in the British Downhill Series, to crashing out and badly damaging his shoulder at the same venue during the 2016 World Cup, which hampered his results all year.
Sadly 2017 followed in the same injury-plagued vein, with Gee suffering a dislocated hip, but as one of the fittest and most determined racers on the circuit, he didn’t let that hold him back for long. He returned to action in 2018 and looked to be getting back to the sort of form he’s known for towards the end of the season, signing off with a silver medal at the World Champs and taking the win at Red Bull Hardline.
The 2019 season saw Gee embark on a new venture with his very own Atherton Bikes brand alongside his sister, Rachel, where he raced and developed their new DH bike on the World Cup circuit, ending the year with another podium performance at the world’s toughest downhill race, Red Bull Hardline, with a strong second place.
Matty Turner is a Professional British cyclist who mainly practices mountain bike street trials. He is a creative genius and has a unique way of moving on his bike with a wide range of tricks. With some world firsts in his sport, he’s already established himself as one of the best up-and-coming talents in UK street trials scene today. This has seen him in 2021 set a new Guinness World Record, and leap to fame with over 40 million views on his TikTok Channel.
Back in 2021 he joined brands working as an ambassador, including for Big Foot Braces, Continental Bicycle Tires UK, Pembree MTB. He also joined Fabio Wibmer’s Sick Series Clothing as a team rider.
Dan Atherton is “an inspiration to a generation of bikers” One of the world’s greatest bike handlers he’s renowned as a trail-building “creative genius”, who created Dyfi Bike Park and Red Bull Hardline. He built his first bike when he was 10 years old.
The career of Dan Atherton can be divided into two distinct parts. Until he broke his neck at C1 vertebrae in 2010 while dirt jumping, he had had a series of top flight results in BMX, downhill and 4X, including a 4X National Championship in 2004, numerous World Cup podiums and a 4X World Cup win in Andorra in 2008.
Following the accident, he came back fitter and leaner than ever before, but this time concentrating primarily on the emerging Enduro discipline. In 2012, he won convincingly at the Superenduro Pro 6 Finale Ligure, taking five out of five stages from a stacked field, as well as emerging victorious from the mass start Maxi Avalanche in Andorra.
He was many people’s pick to win the inaugural Enduro World Series title in 2013, but, after securing podium finishes in rounds one and three of the competition, he dislocated his left shoulder at the Mountain of Hell. Incredibly, he popped his shoulder back in so that he could finish the race, but he sat out the remainder of the season, his involvement only extending to supervising his teammate, the young Belgian rider Martin Maes.
Growing up in Somerset, Dan started racing mountain bikes at the age of 15, and it wasn’t long before he had brother Gee and sister Rachel hooked too. All three siblings have gone on to experience great success on the mountain biking world stage, although Dan is the quieter of the three, known for his versatility, extraordinary work ethic and his prodigious trail-building skills.
I have been cycling for as long as I can remember, it was always a fun family activity for me growing-up. From velodrome to cyclo-cross, MTB to road racing, I spent my childhood developing a passion for two-wheels. As an adult, I´ve been particularly attracted to the adrenaline side of bikes, pushing my limits on jumps, mountainsides and learning tricks, which led to my first TV role on ITV´s The Cycle Show and the lab rat who was sent to try out all the weird and wonderful (and often scary) things that cycling has to offer. I spent 5 years as a cycling TV and video presenter, exploring some of europe’s finest cycling locations and talking to some of the most amazing minds and bodies within this sport.
I believe that cycling is for everyone, it is an activity that is suitable for every personality and body type, you just need to find what is right for you. Long distance over-night adventures or a trip to the park with the kids, death defying feats or tandem trips for the visually impaired, cycling is and can be accessible to all. You just need to hear the right story or follow the right person to be inspired into spending more time in the saddle and having fun.
Sir Chris Hoy MBE, multiple world and Olympic champion track cyclist, was born and raised in Edinburgh. He is one of Great Britain’s most successful Olympic athletes, with six gold medals and one silver.
Chris won his first Olympic gold medal in Athens 2004 in the Kilo – an event that was dropped from the programme for Beijing 2008. Chris took this in his stride and switched his focus to three other track sprint events – the Keirin, Sprint and Team Sprint. He went on to win a gold medal in all three at the Beijing Olympics, cementing his name in the history books.
Following his historic hat-trick of gold medals at the Beijing Olympics, Chris was voted 2008 BBC Sports Personality of the Year. He was also awarded a Knighthood in the 2009 New Year Honours list, capping an extraordinary year for the track cyclist from Edinburgh.
In 2012 at his home Olympic Games in London, Chris won his fifth and sixth gold medals – in the Keirin and Team Sprint – becoming Great Britain’s most successful Olympic athlete of all time with six gold medals and one silver.
As well as his sporting achievements, Chris has a BSc Honours in Applied Sports Science from the University of Edinburgh. In 2005 he was awarded two Honorary Doctorates – one from the University of Edinburgh and another from Heriot-Watt University. He was also awarded an MBE in the New Year Honours List. In 2009 he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from the University of St Andrews.
Chris retired from competitive cycling in 2013 and his achievements throughout his career make him Scotland’s most successful Olympian, the first Briton since 1908 to win three gold medals in a single Olympic Games, and one of the most successful Olympic male cyclists of all time.
