BikeBiz Bicycle and cycling retail news
Raleigh’s newly opened Velopark, next door to its Eastwood Nottingham HQ, has been officially unveiled this week at the Raleigh Performance Festival.
The event is now into its third day (it runs until Friday) and is providing dealers with a chance to ride the new Raleigh Velopark as well as giving them an exclusive look at the new 2016 Raleigh Road bikes, Diamondback MTBs and the new kids range.
There are also activities throughout the day including Roller Racing and a tongue-in-cheek kids bike race where dealers try to set the fastest time around the Velopark on a 16 inch BMX.
Raleigh handed us a couple of bike shop testimonials for the event and Velo Park:
Robin Williamson from Biketrax in Edinburgh said: “Well worth the trip, the new cycle track is awesome.”
Dave Quinn from Bike Factory Chester said: “Fantastic day, great products and the Velopark blew us away.”
The Festival closes on Friday 10th July, so there is still time for dealers go down and see all the new products. Dealers looking to attend should contact the Raleigh marketing team at marketing@raleigh.co.uk
