But please continue to visit the NAHBS website for updates on next year’s show, the planning for which has already begun. At this time we’d like to thank all the individuals, corporations and organizations that make this show a huge success every year. A huge thank you to show director and NAHBS founder Don Walker and his management team, who keep the show simultaneously relevant to the entire cycling industry, and true to its original vision; no mean task. Many thanks to NAHBS’ corporate and media sponsors, without whom the show could not exist: Shimano, New Belgium Brewery, Giordana, DeFeet, Mellow Johnny’s and Bicycle Sport Shop, Bicycling Magazine, cyclingnews.com, Momentum Magazine, MountainFlyer Magazine, DirtRag, and Cog Magazine. A big thank you to our builders and vendors, who continue to innovate, generate new ideas and methods, and create the best bicycle-related products on the planet. And finally, a Texas-sized thank you to the great city of Austin and its active cycling community, who provided the volunteers and bottomless enthusiasm necessary to produce a great show.

If you’ve read Parkin’s chronicle of his time racing the Kermesse circuit on Belgian and Dutch teams during the late 1980s and early 90s- A Dog in a Hat - you know that he’s not shy about exposing the sometimes sordid world of pro racing and elevating it with his wit and personal insight. But when I ask Parkin, a first-time visitor to NAHBS and Editor for both Bike Magazine and Paved , what he thinks is the biggest technical innovation he’s seen at the show this year, he uncharacteristically lingers on the question.
