Video: Come to Bike Live in Cannock!
Like riding bikes? Of course you do! We do too, and that's why we're organising another great Bike Live event. The next one is at Cannock Chase on Saturday 8 April. Come along!
Get a ticket for Cannock Bike Live
We had a great launch event at the Odd Down circuit in Bath, with over 150 riders braving the wind to try out a huge range of bikes: check out the video above. And we'll be doing the same at Cannock Chase, with an even broader range of bikes from some of the biggest names on the market.
Road bikes, gravel bikes, mountain bikes, e-bikes...
Cannock Chase has great riding on tap, no matter what sort of bike you like to ride. And whatever kind of riding you prefer, there'll be bikes there for you.
We'll have bikes from Canyon, Cube, Giant, Haibike, Liv, Kalkhoff, Raleigh, Ribble, Rose, Wilier and Whyte at Bike Live Cannock. There will be road bikes, gravel bikes, mountain bikes, e-bikes... everything you can think of. You don't need to stick to one type of bike: you can try whatever you want.
Road bikes: 5km road loop
For road bike testing we have a 5km loop on quiet roads round the event village. There's plenty of ups and downs and some great swooping descents to try out a bike's handling
Gravel bikes: dedicated gravel and fire road loop
Cannock has great trails for gravel bikes, and you'll be able to test the latest bikes on a mixture of gravel trails and fire roads over the Chase. There's some great views over the Midlands from the top too!
Mountain bikes: purpose built trails
Cannock Chase is a popular trail centre, and Bike Live will be using a section of the Follow the Dog red trail, combined with some fire road riding so you can get the feel of a bike on technical and non-technical terrain
e-bikes: all of the above!
We'll have electric road bikes, electric mountain bikes and leisure bikes too. So whatever you're riding there'll be a loop for you.
Join us on April 8!
Register on our event page to book your place. We'd love to see you there.

It's a DLO to those in the trade.
Surely as a former bridleway these should be equid-based e.g. "hoof-depth" / "up to the fetlock" / "approaching hock/knee"?...
Cars keep getting wider and wider, but it's those damn cyclists with their wide handlebars that are the real problem. ref
"it's almost entirely from recycled composite materials". What percentage of the carbon frame is made from recycled carbon?
Motorist Mike demands 40p back after overcharged on new £11m 'prison' car park...
I have two aero bikes- an Argon18 Nitrogen and an Orro Venturi. I love the way they feel on the road. I also like the style of the deeper section...
They have here: results at 14.40. The aero bike was roughly fifteen seconds faster than a climbing bike on a descent of around 6 km, so about 3km/h...
As I've also placed here the nutter Audi and white van drivers, I've decided to give those no-nonsense keep-the-country-moving BMW drivers a list...
100% this. Policing mentality is formed by social 'norms', and the cyclist witchhunting across social media is the UK norm. Close passing a person...
That's a clear 2 points awarded there, but I guess as there's now a 25% tariff you'll only get 1.5
