Angela Merkel will attend the opening of the Eurobike fair in Friedrichshafen on Aug. 28. The Federal Chancellery of Germany has announced that the Chancellor will take about two hours to officially open the fair and to get to know the latest trends in the biking world during a tour of the show. Eurobike will take place from Aug. 28 to 31, 2013. The organizers of Messe Friedrichshafen expect more than 1,200 exhibitors, 40,000 industry visitors from over 100 countries, 20,000 consumers, and around 2,000 journalists. Merkel's presence should help to put cycling and mobility into the center of the political and media spotlight.
