Birmingham's NEC is once again taken over by The Cycle Show later this week (26-28 September) with a huge gathering of the cycling brands providing you the first chance to see some of the newest 2015 bikes and products.

We've already looked at some of the bikes that will be on display in our previews,  part one and part two here in case you missed them. In this article we're going to take a look at some of the cool, and quirky, new cycling products and accessories you can expect to see.

The Hooky wheelie bin workstand launches at the Cycle Show

The Hooky will be launching their novel wheelie bin workstand at the Cycle Show. Fed up of leaning a bike up against the wall or garden chair when washing and servicing the bike, the inventor behind the Hooky came up with the novel idea of developing a bracket that can fit onto the lid of any standard wheelie bin and essentially convert it into a mobile workstand.

Here’s a short film of it in action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSU_I5FErQo

Randonneur Chair

If you need to take the weight of your legs at the Cycle Show, we can imagine no chair more comfortable, or achingly stylish and cool, than the Randonneur Chair. Yes, it was also the chair sat on by the Tour of Britain winner.

Handcrafted by new company Two Makers, the chair was inspired by classic hand-built racing and touring bicycles of the 1940s. It’s made from Reynolds 631 tubing, with a hardwood and bicycle leather saddle finish. Nope, we can’t think of any other chair made from Reynolds bicycle frame tubing either.

Bergamont e-bikes will launch in the UK at the Cycle Show

German company Bergamont have recently announced they’ll be bringing their range of e-bikes to the UK and the first chance to see them will be at the Cycle Show, courtesy of the Electric Bike Corporation.

Bergamont will be showing 11 of their bikes at the show and you’ll even be able to take one for a spin on the demo track to get a feel for how they perform and function. The models on display will include the top of the range £3,000 Bergamont E-Line C MGN with a Nuvinci N360 Planetary hub gear, Gates Carbon Drive and SRAM XO hydraulic disc brakes.

Pragmasis to launch Beefy Bridge ground anchor and Anti-Scrote Skewer

A couple of interesting new products coming to The Cycle Show from Pragmasis, including the Beefy Bridge ground anchor, which is a more affordable version of this Torc ground anchor. It can be bolted to concrete floors, brick walls or inside vans and containers.

The Anti-Scrote Skewer isn’t, as the name suggests, an anti-theft wheel skewer. Instead it’s a pair of ground spikes that can be used when camping to chain a bicycle to.

Veglo Commuter X4

The evenings are drawing in, and it's going a bit dimsy on the commute home. This is the Commuter X4, a wearable fibre optic rear light strap that can be attached to most backpacks but unlike some reflective backpack covers, you can still access all the pockets as you would normally. Alternatively you can wear it over the shoulders if not cycling with a backpack. 

Condor Cycles launch clothing range

London’s Condor Cycles have expanded their clothing range with two ranges, ‘Since 1948’ and ‘Professional’. The range initially includes bib shorts, jerseys, t-shirts and caps, but there are plans afoot to expand the range to include more garments in 2015. And based on what we've seen here, we can't wait to see what more they have planned.

So they're offering two ranges. The Professional Range is designed for performance cyclists and is inspired by the demands of cycle racing. The fit therefore is close with the use of technical fabrics and there are microdot reflective details across the arms and legs to provide a welcome visibility boost on the evening commute or chaingang. Prices from £75.

The Since 1948 range has been inspired by clothing from the Condor archives, and with the shop first opening in 1948, hence the name, they have plenty of material for inspiration. They talk of a ‘timeless design’ and ‘classic fit’ so should be perfect for casual cycling. Prices start from £45.

Northern Albion to launch pOcpac Stealth Collection

The pOppac Stealth Collection of waterproof phone cases will be launched at the Cycle Show. The new iPac is their smallest case and fits a standard smartphone, and allows the touchscreen to be operated as normal. The iPacs are now available in sizes to fit the bigger Samsung Galaxy S5 and Apple iPhone 6, as well as Samsung Note 2 and iPhone 6 Plus.

Euroraxx bicycle storage

Bicycle storage specialists Euroraxx will be show their storage solutions for indoor and outdoor applications. Pictured is the SteadyRack, it costs £65.77, and clasps the front wheel in the foldout mechanism and can be swivelled to one side to make lining up several bikes easy, handy for office applications or anywhere you need to rack up a handful of bikes.

Salice to launch new shades

Italian eyewear company Salice will launch two new models at the show, the snappily titled 012 CDM RW and 005 Optik.

Unimaginative names aside, they're smart looking additions to a range that road.cc have been impressed with previously. The 012 is a new shape for 2015 and uses a new temple structure and wider lens, with a frame made from Grilamid TR90 with 3D logo and bold five colour stripe across the front. The lenses are mirrored with a hydrophobic coating.

The 005 Optik is aimed at anyone needed eyewear with prescription inserts. Salice fit the prescription lens into the primary lens so there’s no secondary lens as you get with some eyewear for prescription wearers. The lens is interchangeable as well, you can have two sets of lenses created at the same time.

Brunton All Day GoPro Hero 3+ battery

If you use a GoPro a lot you might struggle getting enough filming time out of the small battery, so Brunton, a specialist in portable batteries, have launched the All Day. It replaces the stock battery on a GoPro so you can film a claimed four times longer than the standard battery.

SockMine merino socks

With winter fast approaching, it's time to think about warm cycle clothing, and merino socks are a road.cc fave for keeping the feet snugly wrapped up in cycling shoes. UK-based company SockMine will be showing a range of socks manufactured in North Nottinghamshire using merino wool.

EDZ Performance Layering

Cumbrian firm EDZ Performance Layering will be attending the Cycle Show for the first time and bringing some autumn and winter clothing along, including merino base layers, fleeces and merino socks. And this Light Thermal Helmet Liner Cap to keep your ears toasty this winter.

Kettler to debut new indoor trainer

It’s that time of year when many cyclists turn to indoor training, and debuting at the Cycle Show will be this new indoor trainer from Kettler. The company will show a new range of indoor training bikes utilising their own ‘World Tours’s software that lets you compete against your friends on any route in the world.

Push Nutrition Clean Energy gels

Interested in the latest from the energy product world? Then head over to Push Nutrition’s stand and take a look at their new Clean Energy gels. They tell us these gels are the first water-based gel that don’t use chemical additives and preservatives. No pictures available but one to have a look at once at the show.

ShoxBox transparent bicycle carry case

Going travelling and need a new case for your bike? ShoxBox will be debuting their new transparent hard case at the Cycle Show, a quite novel idea that lets you, and baggage handlers, see what is inside the case. That’ll make you think about packing the bike a bit more carefully in future, but does also mean you won’t be stashing any dirty laundry in there after a training camp.

Grn Bikewear

New British clothing company Grn Bikewear specialise in British made, sustainable and ethically produced cycle wear, with tops made from recycled plastic bottles as just one example of their offerings that they’ll unveil at the Cycle Show.
