Comments from exhibitors on Eurobike 2013:

Jens Haug, Marketing Director Europe, Cycling Sports Group Europe B.V.:
"Eurobike went very well and is a successful trade fair. We received extremely positive feedback on our product line from the media and retailers. The Demo Day in Argenbühl provided us with a successful start to the trade fair. Test rides with Cannondale bikes were extremely popular and GT also recorded strong demand. The order business was good. The quality of the trade fair in terms of exhibitors, stand construction and the product range is experiencing a clear upward trend."

John Glett, Market Leader Germanic Market, Specialized:
"Eurobike is a very successful trade fair for us and we are very pleased with the result. Our new stand concept was very well received by the public and we had many successful discussions with existing and new customers as well as fans of the Specialized brand. The visit from German Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel was an absolute highlight and a great honor for us. An important building block in winning over even more people to the subject of bicycles."

Anke Namendorf, Marketing Koga:
"Eurobike 2013 was really ideal for us. We have such an incredible demand here that we hardly have any brochures left. Perhaps this is due to our new position in the front row of this hall. Interestingly, a lot of people are asking about our F3 series - stylish bikes without electric drive. It is clearly appreciated that we still put a lot of effort into normal bikes, without of course leaving out the e-bikes. So we are quite happy here; if the access and exit roads were doubled, everything would be perfect."
