BikeBiz Bicycle and cycling retail news
Madison has announced the seminar schedule for iceBike* 2024.
Anyone who’s been to iceBike* before knows that it’s a lot more than just products on stands.
As well as showcasing Madison and Sportline’s latest and greatest, iceBike* aims to be a productive and informative show where businesses – and the cycling industry – can improve and expand.
The iceBike* seminars are a way to share knowledge as well as a chance to ask questions and this year’s line-up is the strongest yet.
There are a variety of topics covered and subjects to pique attendees’ interest and the seminars run daily at both the London and Manchester shows.
Asecos will be talking about e-bike battery safety and fire prevention – a very relevant topic given how the popularity of e-bikes continues to increase, the Association of Cycle Traders (ACT) will be diving into how to reform the Cycle to Work scheme and the Bicycle Association will be on hand to talk about its national e-bike battery collection service.
The full daily schedule will be confirmed in the coming weeks:
