Have you got your ticket for the BikeBiz Awards 2011?

If you’ve not already got yours, time is running out to get hold of a ticket to the 2011 BikeBiz Awards.

Taking place on Wednesday evening, before Cycle Show’s trade day on Thursday, the informal event honours the bike industry with prizes, and provides the chance to mingle with 200 trade chums, competitors and associates.

You can get your ticket, which costs just £25 and includes food and drink, from Carly Bailey.

Aside from the main prizes there’s also chance for an Awards attendee to pick up a case of wine and a free digital marketing audit of their website courtesy of Alien Nation Digital.

Electra Bicycles is Premium Partner for the 2011 BikeBiz Awards, alongside Event Partners Koga Bicycles, Citrus-Lime and Cycle-SOS.
