Handmade Bicycle World Focuses on Record-Breaking Bicycle Show in Denver

DENVER, Colo.–The eyes of the cycling world will be on Denver 22-24 February, when more than 7,000 attendees will gather at the Colorado Convention Center for the ninth annual North American Handmade Bicycle Show, Presented by Shimano, where many will fall in love (again) with some of the world's most beautiful bicycles.

Over 185 of the bicycle world's finest artisans will present their work to an expected crowd of over 7,000 onsite and a global audience of millions, attending through the virtual world of websites, online videos, podcasts and blogs reporting from the show.

The 2013 edition of the North American Handmade Bicycle Show (NAHBS), a traveling convention of custom bicycles, takes place in Colorado for the first time, and the response from businesses across the state has been unusually positive.

With three weeks still to go before doors open, NAHBS has already surpassed its exhibitor record of 174, set in Austin in 2011. The contingent of home state exhibitors currently numbers 37, the highest ratio to resident population of any state the show has yet visited.

DENVER, Colo. – A late influx of exhibitors registering after January 1 for the North American Handmade Bicycle Show, Presented by Shimano, at the Colorado Convention Center, Denver, 22-24 February, has raised the prospect that the 2013 show will be the largest yet in the nine-year history of NAHBS.

With three weeks of booth sales remaining, 171 exhibitors have signed up. The previous exhibitor record is 174, set at the Austin, Texas, show in 2011. The attendance record is 8,100, set at Sacramento last year.

The eyes of the cycling world will be on Denver during NAHBS. The 7,000+ attendees expected to attend the show represents the tip of the iceberg for an event, considered the world leader in the handmade sector, which has a following in more than 100 countries.

2013 is the first time NAHBS, a traveling convention of bicycling's handmade manufacturers, has set up in Colorado and the statewide response has been unusually positive.

Three weeks in advance of the show, the contingent of home state exhibitors numbers 35, the highest ratio to resident population of any state the show has yet visited.

All-Olympian roster for 2013's Trek Factory Racing

(Waterloo, WI) - Trek Bicycle today announced the formation of Trek Factory Racing, an elite cross-country mountain bike racing squad which has set its sights squarely on lighting up the 2013 UCI Cross Country World Cup. Representing four countries across three continents, Trek Factory Racing’s global roster is a who’s who of the new generation of XC heavy-hitters, who in spite of their youth have put the world on notice with strong results at the top level of the sport.

Made up entirely of Olympians, the Trek Factory Racing roster is short on age and long on race results. After a USA-best result in London, reigning US National Champion Sam Schultz will make the jump to focusing on the World Cup next season joined by Emily Batty of Canada, whose steady rise to the top of the sport makes her a constant podium threat. Great Britain’s 23-year-old standout XC star Annie Last will look to build on her 7th place overall from the 2012 World Cup. Rounding out the team are Australia’s top male and female riders as well as current National Champions: two-time Olympian Dan McConnell, and 22-year old Rebecca Henderson, who earned multiple podiums in the 2012 U23 World Cup on her way to the London Olympics.
