Cycling is a lifestyle for many, and this is who is the core audience for Bike Fest.<\/p>\n<p>The heart of the Festival is anchored around two main areas, the Exhibition Village and the outdoor Cinema Presentation Space. The Expo focusses on bicycle brands displaying their latest bikes, and the brands have demo bikes available for festival guests to test ride on the specially prepared courses (bicycle stands are heavily discounted if this is honoured). And the outdoor cinema has talks during the day covering everything from cycle touring, nutrition, racing, training and new product launches, and on the Friday and Saturday night transforms into SA\u2019s biggest outdoor cinema playing two cycling and mountain biking related films each evening.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\"> Here are some key highlights of #BikeFestZA 2018:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>All major cycling brands<\/strong> will be there and have demo bikes available to ride,\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>90+ Expo stands<\/strong> to cater to your cycling equipment needs,\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Family-inclusive<\/strong> \u2013 There is everything for every member of the family\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Outdoor cinema &amp; Talks<\/strong> by your favourite cycling brands, cyclist and industry-experts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-52526900-1539079829.jpg\" data-fileid=\"1333223\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"1333223\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-52526900-1539079829.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-52526900-1539079829.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>We hope that\u2019s enough to get you excited?
