Eurobike suffered a 7 percent drop in the total number of daily visits by professionals, down to 42,720, at its 25th edition held in Friedrichshafen last month. A stronger decline was recorded among German trade visitors. The number of daily visits by consumers grew by 14,000 to 34,400 because of the addition of an extra Festival Day on Sunday. However, discussions with some of the 1,350 exhibitors have led Eurobike's management to cancel the Sunday event. Next year, the international bike show will run from Wednesday, Aug. 30 to Saturday, Sept. 2. It will keep its timeline in contrast with the OutDoor show, which will move from mid-July to mid-June. More on that in The Outdoor Industry Compass.
