BikeRadar’s coverage from this year’s Eurobike show has already brought you the most important and relevant news from the brands you want to see, but really that’s only half of the story…
You see, as anyone who’s ever previously attended Eurobike will confirm, the show is not only full of innovative and radical products – you'll also see some things that are just downright weird.
So, for everything from flocked fixie frames to stunt riding on a penny farthing, flick through our gallery above for a collection of images that sit firmly in the miscellaneous category.
Former BikeRadar staffer Oli is passionate about anything with wheels and/or an engine or motor. A keen eye for technical detail and a general curiosity for how things work often gives Oli a unique insight into products he's either testing or writing about. An unhealthy interest in older motor vehicles keeps him poor but happy.
