The Cycle Show returns to Birmingham next week, with over 300 leading bike brands showcasing their latest and shiniest kit at the NEC from Friday 23 - Sunday 25 September.

Bianchi, Canyon, Cube, Garmin, Pinarello, Planet X, Specialized, Trek - they'll all be there, and that's just the start. Alongside the well established names some newcomers will be launching in the UK, among them Simplon Bikes. Big in Europe, this Austrian brand has a wide range of top-of-the line bikes, from the aero Nexius to disc equipped sportive machines and all-out race thoroughbreds.

It's not just cycling gear either. A brand-new closed road sportive, Velo Birmingham, will be launched at the show and there's also a chance to catch a stellar line-up of Olympians and cycling celebs in conversation, from Ned Boulting and Chris Boardman to Dani King, the Drops cycling team, and Irish legends Stephen Roche and Sean Kelly. You can check out the full weekend programme here.

We'll be bringing you a first look at Simplon Bikes and a host of other kit next week - but why settle for second hand news, when you could get hands on with the kit in person? We have three pairs of tickets to the show up for grabs.
