ExpoCycle Returns To Toronto and Condenses Show Dates For 2012

Toronto, ON, January 25, 2012

The Bicycle Trade Association of Canada (BTAC) announces the return of ExpoCycle, Canada's National Bike Show, to Toronto, Ontario.   Managed and produced by BTAC, ExpoCycle is the largest and only show of its kind in Canada's cycling industry. ExpoCycle will take place September 8-10, 2012 at the Direct Energy Centre located in downtown Toronto.

"A number of factors came into consideration when we reviewed ExpoCycle and evaluated plans for the future with the BTAC Board of Directors. We reviewed how Canadian bike retailers responded to an on-line survey and they indicated there was a strong need to see ExpoCycle move host cities. Toronto was a top choice for 2012 and the Direct Energy Centre is a world class facility and hosts many of the leading Canadian trade and consumer events. "Stated Janet O'Connell, BTAC Executive Director.

The 2012 show will also see a condensed number of show days starting off with a Public Day on Saturday, September 8th, followed by two Industry Days on Sunday, September 9th and Monday, September 10th. Building on last year's first Public Day, ExpoCycle will once again provide consumers with a one day exclusive opportunity to see firsthand the latest cycling products on display by over 800 brands.   "Last year we opened ExpoCycle to the public for the first time in history.  The show floor saw a steady flow of consumers and exhibitors responded in strong support of continuing with the public day.  Many Retailers also took advantage of the additional day to attend the show to hold more appointments with exhibitors.  While we are building the public component of the show BTAC is still very committed to the business of our bike retailers and will be continuing to enhance the experience for our attending retailers with education and networking opportunities" Commented Sumar Clarke, ExpoCycle Show Director. "

BTAC is currently forming a local organizing committee to create awareness of the Public Day through Toronto's cycling communities and to develop opportunities with local cycling groups.  This committee  will play a key role and work with BTAC Staff to develop features and events for the Public Day.

ABOUT BTAC                                                             
The Bicycle Trade Association of  Canada (BTAC) is the national voice of cycling in Canada and the hub of the Canadian bicycle industry. BTAC advocates, builds partnerships, promotes trade and commerce and seeks to motivate, unite and inspire Canadians to make bicycling the pre-eminent form of transportation and recreation in Canada.

Giro Privateer shoes review on Bicycling

Here's the review of the all-new 2012 Giro Privateer MTB shoes. 

Available in White and Black or in Black and also in High Volume (HV) in Black.

" A comfortable, effective off-road shoe, the Privateer proved itself through a fall filled with trail riding and 'cross racing. The shoe was especially impressive on loose, muddy run-ups, where the nylon outsole, with aggressive lugs, gave the shoes impressive bite, helping keep our balance and run just a little quicker than the other guys. The sole is more flexible than other shoes we've ridden recently, but still rigid enough to keep us pedaling efficiently down the trail. The fit is on the narrow side, especially through the mid-foot and toe box. Even so, we never felt cramped, even on longer hike-a-bike sections. The microfiber upper, with just a few mesh panels, was perfect for cooler fall weather, and did an impressive job at keeping our feet dry when splashing through creek crossings—it's also easy to clean, an important consideration if you opt for the white-and-black color scheme. Like most shoes in this price range, the closure is a simple arrangement: three straps, one with a buckle and two with Velcro. They all worked effectively, while the heel cup did an impressive job of keep our foot secure.—Andrew J. Bernstein "

Easton Havoc Carbon handlebar review on Pinkbike

" The Havoc Carbon bar not only felt like home for our hands as soon as we put it on, but more than one tester also claimed that he could feel an improvement in stiffness, despite coming straight off of a much heavier aluminum bar. ...  ... the Havoc Carbon is still one of our favorite bars due to its light weight, high stiffness and great comfort. - Mike Levy "

Justine Dufour-Lapointe tout près de Kearney

La jeune Justine Dufour Lapointe a bien failli répéter sa victoire de l'an dernier en ne s'inclinant qu'en finale devant l'Américaine Hannah Kearney, championne olympique et meneuse de la Coupe du monde.

Dominatrice chacune de leur côté du tableau éliminatoire, les deux skieuses se sont livré une chaude lutte jusqu'à mi-parcours. «Je l'ai poussé autant que j'ai pu, mais j'ai fini par sortir de piste, a expliqué Justine. Je n'ai que 17 ans, ce n'est que ma deuxième saison en Coupe du monde. J'ai encore le droit de commettre des erreurs!»

L'Albertaine Chelsea Henitiuk a obtenu le meilleur résultat de sa carrière avec une quatrième place. Maxime Dufour-Lapointe a pris le sixième rang, alors qu'Audrey Robichaud s'est classée 13e pour sa première compétition de la saison.

Chloé Dufour-Lapointe, l'une des favorites, a fait une fausse manoeuvre dans sa descente de qualification et n'a pu se classer parmi les 16 finalistes.

Giro Feature helmet review on Pinkbike

" As helmets go. the Feature is one of the better looking we've seen. Its design is on the oval side, so if you have a round head, you may try one on to ensure a good fit. The single chin strap is functional, but after using bi-directional adjustment straps, I find that the Feature is a bit arbitrary. No worries, though, because the adjustable visor makes up for any angular change you may need to keep it functional on fast descents. Lids with non-adjustable visors must be set perfectly on the head to blend fit and function. Giro's Feature should make a lot of friends among the AM/trail crowd. "
