Cycling for Everyone – Standard Bank Africa Cycle Fair 2015 Over the weekend of the 23th \u2013 25th October 2015, the Standard Bank Africa Cycle Fair will be held at St Stithians College, Johannesburg, Gauteng.<\/p>\n

The move to this stunning central venue was precipitated by a growth in schools cycling and the deployment of urban cycling initiatives from the City of Joburg.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe anticipate forming a long relationship with the both the school and the city. The venue offers a central location for distributors, retailers and the public, whilst still providing a great outdoor setting, just a stone throw\u2019s away from Africa\u2019s economic hub\u201d Mandla Sibeko, Director of the Fair\u2019s owners, Artlogic.<\/p>\n

Into its third year, the Fair comes together under a message of \u201cCycling for Everyone\u201d; not just for the professional rider, the experienced cyclist or the multi-day stage racer.<\/p>\n

The Standard Bank Africa Cycle Fair once again provides an environment where the public can come and engage with distributors, retailers and the other stakeholders of the African cycling industry. The success of the Fair over the last two years has led to interest from abroad, and in 2015 we warmly welcome our first non-African exhibitors to the Fair.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have also noticed an increase in wellness, travel and recreational exhibitors this year, and this is aligned with our belief that cycling is a holistic and healthy activity, in addition to being a recreational physical pursuit\u201d says Fair Director Rob Heath.<\/p>\n

Returning to the Fair this year are the unofficial SA Cyclocross Champs, the MTB test ride track, industry experts and cycling celebrities, the Pumptrack, a Kids Zone, and the great contemporary food and drink that is synonymous with Artlogic events. We will also be hosting a schools interprovincial MTB Cross-country race to further support, encourage and develop our future World Champions.<\/p>\n

\u201cStandard Bank is proud to be associated with the Standard Bank Africa Cycle Fair. This is our second year in a three-year partnership with the brand. Cycling is one of the fastest growing sports in South Africa and is therefore core to the relevance of our brand and sponsorship strategy. We look forward to actively interacting with the cycling fraternity\u201d said Nikki Twomey, Executive Head: Marketing and Communication, Standard Bank.<\/p>\n
