Jonathan Harrison, Director of the ACT, said: “It was brilliant to see ACT members at the show. What a superb event that brought a lot of great elements of the cycling industry together and a fantastic debut show for the ACT.

“It was also an ideal opportunity to talk about the positive work being done through the E-Bike Positive campaign, alongside our wider advocacy work and the essential business services ACT provides to support specialist cycle retailers.”
