iceBike* Manchester is a cycling trade show hosted by Madison at the National Cycling Centre. The next edition takes place on 7–8 February 2027, bringing retailers and industry representatives together with brands from the Madison and Sportline portfolios.
A show for the cycling trade
iceBike* is Madison’s in-house trade event, focused on the brands carried by Madison and Sportline. It gives bicycle retailers an opportunity to speak directly with brand representatives and see products in a professional setting. The Manchester show is one of two locations in the 2027 format; the separate London show follows later that week.
This is a trade event rather than a general public bicycle fair. The organiser’s FAQ says attendance is open to Madison and Sportline trade account holders and members of the press.
Brands and programme
For 2027, Madison names Shimano, Vittoria, Park Tool, Genesis, Ridgeback, Kryptonite, Lazer, Elite and DT Swiss among the exhibitors. Representatives will present products and meet customers, while live demonstrations are planned on the show floor.
The announced seminar programme includes panel discussions and interviews with figures from across cycling. Madison also plans evening entertainment in the velodrome after the first show day, providing another opportunity for conversations with people from the trade.
Registration and opening hours
The Manchester show is scheduled for Sunday 7 and Monday 8 February 2027. The organiser lists opening hours of 09:00–17:00 on Sunday and 09:00–15:00 on Monday. Registration is available through the iceBike* website, with separate options for trade visitors and press.
According to the FAQ, registration before 26 January brings an e-ticket and a printed ticket by post. Those registering later receive an e-ticket and can have a ticket printed at reception. The organiser also says track sessions are planned, with sign-up information to follow.
Venue and parking
The National Cycling Centre is on Stuart Street, Manchester, M11 4DQ. The organiser says free parking is available at the centre, with limited spaces in Car Park A at the front and further spaces in Car Park B behind the velodrome.
The event FAQ says the car parks can be reached via Gibbon Street and Stuart Street and will be signposted. It also states that there is no iceBike* parking at the Etihad Stadium. Check the organiser’s current directions before travelling.
