The 2007 Interbike trade show is coming to Las Vegas, Nevada next week. Bikemag.com and the entire Bike magazine crew is preparing to depart for one of the hardest working weeks of our year. Interbike is scheduled to include over 1,000 brands from almost as many exhibitors being shown to nearly 22,000 attendees from over 60 countries. Being the largest bicycle trade event in North America, Interbike is the biggest collection of new gear that we're going to see in one place at one time all year long.

The week starts Monday morning at Bootleg Canyon in Boulder City for the popular Dirt Demo event where we'll be getting on-trail previews of all the new bikes including twenty niners, some new 650B (27.5")-wheeled machines, freeride, DH, AM, XC and whatever else we happen to stumble across. Bike magazine will be manning a booth with our icy snow cone machine for some brain freeze-inducing two-wheeled fun. After that, the entire circus will head for Sin City and the Sands convention center on Wednesday for the remainder of the week.

Since Interbike is an industry-only event Bikemag.com will have daily updates including lots of photos of the people, bikes, gear and beer that we're sure to be checking out. Be sure to click on Bikemag.com every evening (PST), all week long, for the latest in Interbike news, photos and product updates.

The week begins in Bootleg Canyon with two days of demo riding all the new bikes Alan L. Davis
