Bike Live Dalby Forest Bike LIVE Dalby: Tickets for just £15 if you're quick enough
It's just two weeks to go until we head off to Dalby Forest, the venue for the next installment of Bike LIVE, our series of demo days which bring you the chance to ride as many bikes as you like from a large range of manufacturers.
The event takes place on Saturday June 17th with tickets costing £30 but we've obviously had a bit too much sun or something as we've set up a combination of discounts to allow you to purchase them for just £15!
First up our Early Bird offer has knocked a tenner off and if you enter the code BLIVE_USER here on the booking page you'll end up with a ticket at half price.
Brought to you by road.cc, off-road.cc and ebiketips.co.uk the event offers a huge selection of bikes covering everything from road racing, leisure riding, gravel/adventure, CX, e-bikes and MTB's so it's the perfect chance to try before you buy or just to play on something a bit different to what you're used too.
We've got some impressive brands signed up already with the likes of Giant, Canyon, Cube, Scott, Ribble, Salsa, Haibike, Liv, Whyte and Moustache all going to be there. To give you some of idea of what to expect, at our previous Cannock Chase event there was just under one hundred different models available in a range of sizes for you to try.
To help you get the most out of each of the bikes we will be offering specific routes for the road bikes plus various trails and off-road forays for the mountain and gravel bikes. Each lap will be designed to test all aspects of your chosen ride so that you can really find the true personality of the bike. We'll have full details on all of that though over the coming weeks.
It's not just bikes though, Weldtite will be there with their range of lubes plus Maxxis will have a selection of tyres on offer for both on and off-road applications.
Why not check out previous Bike LIVE events at Cannock Chase and the Bath video below to see what a great day out it is.

Since writing his first bike review for road.cc back in early 2009 senior product reviewer Stu has tested more than a thousand pieces of kit, and hundreds of bikes.
With an HND in mechanical engineering and previous roles as a CNC programmer/machinist, draughtsman and development engineer (working in new product design) Stu understands what it takes to bring a product to market. A mix of that knowledge combined with his love of road and gravel cycling puts him in the ideal position to put the latest kit through its paces.
He first made the switch to road cycling in 1999, primarily for fitness, but it didn’t take long for his competitive side to take over which led to around ten years as a time triallist and some pretty decent results. These days though riding is more about escapism, keeping the weight off and just enjoying the fact that he gets to ride the latest technology as part of his day job.
."I know it’s not great but it would never be a political priority for me to give cyclists better infrastructure, particularly when they don’t...
Mine tend to get knocked by the chaining of the bicycle, then fall off later. To be found next time I use the light. Some crushed.
I'm guessing not that very manoeuvrable either.
That is a pity, Malcolm had a great reputation and spent a lot of time posting his no-nonsense advice gained over many years on Bikeradar....
It's a mark of how weak your pompous pontificating is that you're forced to make up things I never said in order to try to defend your "look at me...

It's mentioned in benefit #2 in the article...
Pneu ballon and hookless rims are back, I still have some 27" Birmalux rims in the shed somewhere.
Well yes, but it is the holidays
Thank you for that excellent forensic analysis, I couldn't figure out where I'd gone wrong! Must drink more coffee and put on glasses before trying...
