Interbike 2008

I've attended Interbike for the last two years running. Went with my friends from NYC Velo and did it DIY. Ran around with a bag full of new samples trying to make connections and sales. Not this year though. A lot of NYC heads and companies are there representing and taking it in. Some for the first time, some for fifth time, some just for a good time.

Look for coverage on the following sites:

If you're not familiar, Interbike is the bike industries annual convention. Takes place in Las Vegas. Unlike Eurobike, Interbike is 'private' and open only to industry particpants. What does that mean? Not a whole lot really. If you want to go, talk to the people at your favorite bike shop and ask them if they're attending. Chances are that won't mind putting you on their attendee list. Barring that, you could just tell the organizers that you're a media person and pay your way in. No worries and lots of swag.
