Lauren Jenkins, BikeBiz editor, added:
It’s great to support from Extra UK and Topeak for a second year. Since we launched this award, they have also supported our Mechanic of the Month initative too. Each winner gets to pick some Topeak tools and we’ve had some fantastic feedback. It means a lot to me to have the backing of the industry. Especially when it comes to supporting mechanics.
I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone again in October and celebrating together.
Winners will be announced on 15 October at The Button Factory in Birmingham. Tickets are available on the BikeBiz Awards website.
