Beside the benchmark in european tradeshows and the biggest trade show for bicycles on earth, the Eurobike, there are more and more smaller tradeshows and gatherings coming up this year. Compared to the the pretty much global overall focus of the Eurobike, these smaller events concentrate on different areas/ type of bikes or niche markets with special interests and people. The first one this year is the Berliner Fahrradschau which will be take place right in the heart of Berlin at a place called Station-Berlin next to the Gleisdreieck in Berlin Kreuzberg. The flair of the event will be focused on urban mobility and lifestyle. Despite this is the debut of the show, I´m pretty sure that this event is a date for anybody from or around Berlin who is interested in bikes. Some side events like BMX, Bikepolo and Goldsprints will complete this weekend. FIXIE Inc. will also display some stuff, so come and see..

I´m sure, if today anybody of you would be in Richmond, Virginia most probably you would be at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show. Check the coverage here at urbanvelo or Flickr or Flickr.
