The show kicked off today at Harrogate, continues Tuesday and then reassembles at Sandown, 30th-31st March. All show visitors get a free sports bottle, courtesy of Ashprint Plastics, a British company looking for its bug-resistant bottles to be specced by British bike companies.

Grab your free sports bottle at National Cycle & Leisure Show

Show visitors can collect their promo 750ml bottles from the reception desk at both venues.

Printed with the show logo and the URL for a news website not a million miles from here, the bottles are blow-moulded and screen-printed in the UK by Ashprint Plastics of Hampshire.

Ashprint’s bottles feature low-leak suck-valves rather than bite valves and are impregnated with Biogard S2000, a mould inhibitor.

Pic above is of David Hyde, the show organiser, and one of the giveaway bottles.
