Another of the year’s big bike bonanzas has been postponed due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus. London Bike Show won’t go ahead as planned.
The London Bike Show is following in the same footsteps as the first round of the downhill WC, the first two rounds of the EWS, Sea Otter and many many more cycling events and has decided to postpone the show.
A statement released earlier today states that the developing Coronavirus situation has forced the London Bike Show to be postponed until July, when it will run from the 3rd – 5th.
Official statement follows:
Statement of postponement of the London Bike Show & Triathlon Show: London from Newtimber Media.
Sadly, it is with great regret that Newtimber Media have to announce today that the London Bike Show and Triathlon Show: London will be postponed until 3-5 July 2020 following the escalation of COVID-19 Coronavirus across Europe and the UK.
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.
