#!markdown Yeah, like I said it all depends on what the goal of the show is. I like talking to the end user. They say here's where I ride, this is how I ride, which of your products should I be using? Where as with folks in the industry it's always, "Whaddaya got that's new?" Granted, that's what people want to see covered. My point is that it's tough to cram the two groups together. It has to be an either/or show. Interbike should probably only be two days anyway. Everyone has seen it all at Eurobike and no business is happening on Friday. The consumer day seems to be a "bone" thrown at manufacturers in an attempt to justify the show being three days long. Come on a Friday a couple of years ago and you will see a bunch of shelled people staring at the floor until the sound of tape guns fills the hall after lunch. Now there are slightly more people milling around and the tape guns get a later start. There's too much navel gazing in the industry and selling to each other. If cycling is going to continue to grow, there needs to be some rethinking of a lot of things. And Interbike is one of the big ones.
