Hello from Interbike 2016! As always, Day 1 kicks off with the Outdoor Demo. We could not have asked for better weather this year (as compared to last year’s very windy days). And if you are following us on Instagram, you’ve probably already seen some of the pictures we shared today. Make sure to let us know what you like and don’t like, and we will be sure to spend some time over the next few days getting a closer look.
- Interbike’s Outdoor Demo archway greets us
- Alto was showing off their wheel building technology
- A closer look at Alto (expect to see more of them on our pages)
