London Bike Show - Randoms
Between the 12th and 15th of February The London Bike Show is held at the Excel arena, just a stones throw from loads of bankers in Canary Wharf, a cross-river gondola and a really big, expensive white dome. Here's a few randoms from day one to get started.
Superstar is a UK brand that is rapidly expanding. Their products aren't anything extraordinary, just good quality, loads of colours and a very competitive price point. Although they do believe that they own the most state of the art wheel-building machine in the UK, and offer the widest range of rims and hubs too.
Madison now have the full range of Garmin Virb camera and accessories in stock. £149.99 ($231 USD approx) gets you the camera with all the mounts you need to get started
KitBrix is a new brand producing these modular sports bags. Inspired by military baggage that was used by the founder during counter terrorism heli-drops! The main feature of these bags is your can zip together as many as you want, there are multiple options designed with your sport or profession in mind. These are the mtb and medical specific bags and look like they could survive whatever you throw at them. Each bag comes in at £39.99 ($61 USD approx)
This model is one of the larger cases towards the top of their range at £34.99 ($54 USD approx)
If your an Evoc fan, but want something a little more subdued and sophisticated for the city, this FR Porter 18 Litre bag could be right up your street. Along with the usual German quality, this pack features a padded 17" laptop pocket, tablet pocket and even a back protector should the worst happen on your commute. £169.99 (262 USD approx)

 I quickly took the Swiss mountain goat by the horns and got stuck in to the show |

| Now starting to produce product in-house, the machines have been turning out chainrings, 10-speed cassette expanders and bash-guards. More substantial machinery is en-route to the Lincoln firm and they are looking to start machining their own pedals and other parts. The decision was bought about after selling out of pedals last year, with a 3-month delay on the next boat coming in. Making more components in-house will help to cut lead-times, improve quality and maintain value |

| They had these prototype oval chainrings on display. Owner Neil Wilkinson likes a practical joke or two. Can you spot the deliberate mistake? |
 |
| Manon Carpenter was the first on the stage for the Q and A sessions with Anna Glowinski, from ITV's 'The Cycle Show'. Loads of other guests were lined up including Peaty and Josh 'Ratboy' Brycland walking evenly on a healthy looking paw |
 |
 |
| One of the main features of the camera is the fixed screen. Garmin cannot guarantee you will have this lovely image in your videos though |
 |
 |
| The Triathlon Show and The Outdoor Show are held in the same hall simultaneous to the bike show. This is without doubt the King of Campers |
 |
| SP Gadgets offers a range of protective cases to organise your Go-Pro and accessories. The foam is pre-cut fit cameras, SD cards, leads and any other bits and pieces you might need |

| This pun is way too obvious... |
