London Bike Show postponed until 3 - 5 July due to COVID-19
Posted on in Business News , Cycles News
The London Bike Show and Triathlon Show, originally due to take place from 27th-29th March, have announced today that the shows will be postponed until 3 - 5 July following the escalation of COVID-19 Coronavirus across Europe and the UK.
The show has followed the lead of other cycling shows around the world that have been postponed or cancelled this year over concerns of the coronavirus including Sea Otter Classic, Bespoked, the Taipei Cycle Show, Mountain Mayhem and the NAHBS.
Below is the full statement from the London Bike Show:
The coronavirus outbreak has been labelled a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). The effects are becoming evident across all aspects of our lives here in the UK and across the world. We have been following UK government guidelines and working with the rolling advice from the public health authorities and other organisations, but it is now with reluctance that we have taken the decision to postpone the event at this time. The safety and wellbeing of our staff, exhibitors, visitors, partners and contractors is of the utmost importance to us, and therefore feel the protection and prevention of harm to the public has been paramount to this decision.
We recognise that business has to continue and with this in mind we will continue to support and collaborate with exhibitors and visitors during this difficult period. The London Bike Show and Triathlon Show: London will be back stronger, full steam ahead in July! Thank you to everyone who has supported us at this time.
