“Yorkshire is a rich tapestry of cycling success. Its pedalling powerhouses include the likes of Beryl Burton, Lizzie Armitstead and the Brownlee brothers; its rolling hills and sleepy vales provide a haven for Sunday club runs, tea-stops and cake, and its industry is welded together by Bob Jackson, Ellis Briggs and Woodrup Cycles. Yorkshire is at the heart of cycling’s past, present and future. And things are only going to get better.

We are pleased to announce the launch of the first Yorkshire Bicycle Show to take place in Leeds Town Hall over the second weekend of September 2013. The Show, the first of its kind in the North of England, will feature some of the best handmade frames, cycling innovations, accessories and apparel on the market.

The Yorkshire Bicycle Show is proud to be an independent project, organised by local businesses to celebrate and promote their region. With endorsement from Leeds-based cycling companies. The Show will exhibit the best artisan bicycles and cycling products of the 21st Century.”

Our 2013 Helmet sponsors MET have been unparalleled in their support of Fixed Gear this was apparent in the recent Adrenalin Tournament that took the form of a ‘mini drome’

The Ring in l’Isle Jourdain – France - hosted its first MET Fixed Adrenalin Tournament, a unique track event for fixed gear bikes. A wild ride that takes place on one of the smallest velodromes in the world.

Fearless cyclists faced a demanding test of mental and physical strength and technical skill. The MET FAT was a fantastic tournament and a hurricane of action, with over 20 top national riders and over 15 different nationalities racing on the night. As with many knockout tournaments, the stakes were high and the excitement was intense. The magic really started after the qualifying runs, which is when the 16 fastest riders entered the final rounds of the tournament. Juliet Elliott and Thomas Dalbigot proved to be the most skilled riders on the track that night and won the prestigious trophy.
