Minus any attendees in Peter Sagan cosplay, Interbike is, essentially, the Comic-Con of cycling. Known for its expos on cycling's latest concepts and innovative product announcements, the annual gathering is cycling's premiere trade show.
However, this annual gathering of cycling's top minds and innovators is also an awards show. Perhaps calling it the Oscars of cycling would be a stretch, but an award at Interbike remains a prestigious, sought-after prize.
