Ausbike Australia

 

23 October, 2010
Ausbike is looking forward to hosting it’s second Ausbike Trade Expo in 2010.
This year has once again proved an exciting year for the bicycle industry, as the market has continued its growth despite predictions by the mass media of a retail spending downturn.

Ausbike will once again be held at The Royal Melbourne Showgrounds from Saturday 21 August to Monday 23 August, 2010.
