March 17, 2024 - (Düsseldorf, GER) From 2025 onwards, Cyclingworld will no longer be confined to Düsseldorf alone; Europe’s leading expo for the world of bicycles will be held for the first time in the USA as well.
The premiere of Cyclingworld New York City is scheduled for May 1-4, 2025, coinciding with the TD Five Boro Bike Tour, one of the largest urban cycling events worldwide.
The second day of the Düsseldorf Cyclingworld Europe concluded with a bang as CEO Stefan Maly made the announcement during the traditional Exhibitor Night that in 2025, alongside the traditional venue at the Areal Böhler, that there will be a second event planned in New York City.
The TD Five Boro Bike Tour has been kicking off on first Sunday in May for over 20 years and the new Cyclingworld New York City will henceforth take place within the framework of the event.
With approximately 34,000 participants covering a 65-kilometer route through New York, the bike tour is one of the largest cycling events for leisure riders of all stripes in the USA. Specifically for this event, the route in Lower Manhattan will be completely closed to automobile traffic to allow for the joy of cycling in an urban setting.
“The organization of the TD Five Boro Bike Tour naturally aligns perfectly with the DNA of Cyclingworld, which, with an alliance of European and American exhibitors, offers an attractive overall package,” said Maly. The location for Cyclingworld New York City, which will kick off the TD Five Boro Bike Tour from May 1st to 4th, 2025, will be an event hall at Pier 36 in Midtown Manhattan, not far from Times Square.
“Of course, we aim to start with 150 to 200 exhibitors in a smaller framework than the familiar Cyclingworld Europe. New York, with Manhattan, provides our exhibitors with a fantastic backdrop and perfect points of connection to reach the people of the metropolis. Therefore, we believe that Cyclingworld New York will find fertile ground with all stakeholders, and we can establish ourselves in the long term on the East Coast of the USA as an expo for fine bicycle culture,” continued Maly.
The project manager of Cyclingworld, Torsten Abels, is already confident about good visitor numbers: “Our collaboration with Bike New York, the initiators of the big bike tour, includes, among other things, the distribution of registration materials for the TD Five Boro Bike Tour at Cyclingworld New York City.
Therefore, it can be assumed that simply due to the number of participants, well over 30,000 trade fair visitors are guaranteed.” Interested exhibitors and companies can already register for both the next Cyclingworld Europe in March 2025 in Düsseldorf and the premiere in New York.
