Tickets usually cost £14 but all you have to do to be in with a chance of winning a pair is send an email explaining in less than 50 words why you should win tickets.  The funniest and most original emails will win. The Cycle show runs from Friday 10th to Sunday 12th October and is a great place to check out the latest bikes and accessories, plus see top names from the world of cycling as well as test ride loads of new bikes on the commuter and MTB tracks.

The Association of Cycle Traders will be running a daily competition to award the title of “Fastest Wrench In The West”.
