- Specialized recognizes top Innovation Partners ...Top
On December 2nd, Specialized held its 8th Annual Innovation Partner Party to thank innovation partners for their contributions to the company's 2011 success. According to Specialized President Mike Synyard, the party marks another good year for the component maker, with strong sales performance and cycling sponsorships.
Merida, Topkey, J.D Components, Very Impressive Product, Martec, Formula, A-Pro, Chia Cherne, Tektro, Velo, Kenda, Airace, Viscount, Gunior and Evergreen Marine were all recognized as top Innovation Partners at the party.

Addressing 2012, Executive Vice President Bob presented six working aspects to overcome the unique challenges of the coming year: Customer priority; customer -oriented benefits and demand; clear objective planning; purposeful project execution; innovative design; solid and trusting long-term relationships with partners; and shared cycling enjoyment.
- Industry members come together to grieve Yukio Hori ...Top
Japan AKI Group Marketing and R&D Minister Yukio Hori has passed away. Following a memorial ceremony in Osaka, AKI Group and Yuki's family held an additional farewell ceremony in Taichung, Taiwan - a city Yuki often frequented on business trips. For the better part of the past two decades, Yuki was AKI Group's liaison to Taiwan, during which time he established a profound friendship with the Taiwanese industry. Taichung's Howard Prince Hotel was filled with Yuki's Taiwanese industry partners and friends the night of December 4th, who came to pay their respects.
"We are too late to participate in Yuki's funeral in Japan, but his Taiwanese friends are here together to grieve," said FAIRLY BIKE President C.H. Chien. "We believe Yuki will bless his family and friends from heaven.'' Taiwan Johnson GM Edward Lin added, "Yuki was a hard-working and honest person. His death was a big loss to his family and to the bicycle industry - he is someone to learn from.'' DTC Ltd Taiwan GM Victor Sun, who knew Yuki for 25 years, was not surprised by the farewell's large attendance number. "His hearty smile was infectious. Yuki established a deep friendship with Taiwanese industry people, which is why so many attended his farewell ceremony." At the end of the farewell, Velo President Stella Yu proposed a toast as a final tribute to Yuki, and Yuki's family and AKI Corp CEO Aki Ninomiya thanked Yuki's Taiwanese friends for their attendance, friendship, love and concern.
- Oxylane acquires stake in Storck ...Top
Oxylane Holding of France has acquired a 25% stake in German high-end bicycle maker Storck. Best known as the parent company of mass market sporting goods company Decathlon, Oxylane reportedly purchased the stake in Storck purely as an investment and a chance for the holding company to profit from the trending high-end bicycle market. According to Markus Storck, consumers needn't fear unnecessary changes spurred by Oxylane's investment. "Storck Bicycle will continue as an independent company. Our store concept will expand worldwide with dealers and distribution partners," he said. "Moreover we expanded our management team." In recent years, Storck has achieved an annual sales growth of over 20%, and was actively seeking new investors when Oxylane came along. With the 25% aquisition by Oxylane, previous shareholders have been dropped, leaving new owners Markus and Helena Storck with a stake of 75% (up from 62.4%). Storck has also hired Jens Buder as the new Head of R&D and a new sourcing manager, Fritz Fehner.
- Accell acquires Van Nicholas ...Top
Accell Group N.V. announced last week that it has finalized talks on the acquisition of Van Nicholas, a Dutch maker of high-end titanium bicycles and frames. Following the acquisition of all shares, Van Nicholas will be managed by Accell Group subsidiary, Koga, with the aim to expand Van Nicholas' international market presence. Meanwhile, the Numansdorp-based company will retain its own brand name and identity. The acquisition is financed with Accell Group's own resources and according to a press release, will immediately make a positive contribution to its earnings per share.
"Titanium is one of the most attractive materials for a high-quality frame, but it requires specialist knowledge. That is exactly what Van Nicholas has to offer," said Koga Managing Director Wouter Jager. "The brand has manifested itself as a major player in the high-end segment in a short period of time. The cooperation between Koga and Van Nicholas offers great synergies which enables us to accelerate international growth to our customers in the top-end segment who can now also choose titanium as an alternative for aluminum or carbon." Jan-Willem Sintnicolaas, founder and owner of Van Nicholas, is also pleased with the deal. "[This] enables me to fully focus on what I am really good at: Developing appealing titanium frames and bicycles. We have grown fast in the last few years in which I have spend a lot of time on management tasks. The acquisition ensures a long-term commitment between the brand and myself.'' He added, "For years, Accell Group proves to be the frontrunner in logistics and in the development of branding and marketing of high quality bicycles. With Koga there is a perfect match."
- Scotland launches MTB website ...Top
Earlier this month, Scottish Minister for Commonwealth Games and Sport Shona Robinson welcomed the Developing Mountain Biking in Scotland website (www.DMBinS.com), which aims to encourage a projected 30% growth of the sport in Scotland within the next five years.
"The Government is committed to making Scotland a healthier, wealthier, greener and successful sporting nation. Mountain biking helps contribute to all of these targets and is accessible to a large number of Scottish residents," said Robinson.
In addition to info on routes, equipment, clubs, events and safety, DMBinS features resources on everything from how to develop trails to businesses. Supporters believe that by encouraging MTB riding, the website will also improve tourism and sustainability.
"Scotland has amazing off-road mountain biking trails for all abilities and offers us a great opportunity to get outside and enjoy the magnificent Scottish countryside," says Graeme McLean, DMBinS project manager. "The website will make it easier for everyone to get on their bike and participate in this great activity."

- Belgium postal service recalls 2,000 e-bikes ...Top
Belgium postal service Bpost has recalled their e-bike fleet due to risks associated with overheating batteries. Belgium newspaper De Morgen has so far reported two incidents affecting mailmen. The most recent took place in November, when a Bpost employee noticed smoke coming from his bike. After removal from the e-bike, part of the battery exploded. The preceding incident occurred last October when a battery melt-down ignited a serious fire at the Bpost office in Aarschot.
According to Bpost spokesman Fred Lens, the batteries are the cause for concern, rather than the e-bikes themselves. Batteries have already been removed from 1,500 Bpost e-bikes and returned to a supplier for checkup - another 500 will also be checked in the coming period. Until the battery issue is resolved, Bpost mailmen will have to cycle the old fashioned way, or use the gas motorbikes and mopeds replaced by the e-bikes last April.
The ETRA has responded to the recall with a press release emphasizing that electric bicycles are not dangerous in themselves. "Problems only arise if manufacturers do not respect the legal rules relating to production and transport due to a lack of information or a lack of professional integrity. The vast majority of electric bicycle manufacturers do observe these rules." The name of Bpost's e-bike supplier has not been disclosed.
- US Forest Service partners with MTB documentary ...Top
According to a press release, the US Forest Service has officially partnered with new mountain bike documentary "PEDAL-DRIVEN: a bikeumentary" as part of an effort to bring light to the challenges user-built trails on protected land can create, such as resource damage and safety issues. The documentary explores the escalating conflict between mountain bikers and the federal land managers charged with protecting public lands.
"This really is an international issue, and this partnership is a milestone," said producer Jeff Ostenson. "Becoming an official partner of the US Forest Service, combined with the active support of such major players in the bike industry, lends a great deal of credibility to the film as an advocacy tool for riding organizations here in the U.S. and public land agencies around the world." "PEDAL-DRIVEN: a bikeumentary" was created by Howell at the Moon Productions in affiliation with the IMBA. Sponsors include bike industry members Shimano and Specialized, among others. All net profits from the film will be donated to future sustainable trail building and land stewardship efforts.To see the trailer, visit pedaldriven.howellatthemoon.com/videostrailers.
Global Briefs
- ETRA's lobby efforts see results ...Top
On December 5th, the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection (IMCO) in the European Parliament voted to adopt Wim van de Camp's draft report on the Commission's proposal for the review of the type-approval of motorcycles, according to an ETRA report. A number of amendments aimed at improving European technical regulations on electric bicycles have also been adopted.
If the report and amendments come to fruition, pedelecs with assistance up to 25 km/h will be excluded from the type-approval without specification of a motor output limit (previously specified 250 W). Hence, all 25 km/h pedelecs would become subject to the Machinery and EMC directive and classified as bicycles instead of mopeds, regardless of motor output.
Likewise, bicycles with an auxiliary motor that can propel the vehicle even if the cyclist is not pedaling would be excluded from the type-approval, provided their speed is limited to 25 km/h and their weight to 25 kg. Self-balancing vehicles such as Segway and light electric vehicles without a seat - with a speed limit of 25km/h - would also be excluded.
The report still needs to be voted in Plenary, likely in March of 2012, and Council has to mark its agreement. According to ETRA, these advances are a result of its lobby efforts, based largely in the position that speed and not power is the determining safety factor of electric bicycles.
- CTC Chief Executive to leave for ECF ...Top
A press release published last week by the CTC (The UK's National Cyclists' Organization) reveals that Kevin Mayne, the CTC's 14-year chief executive, will be leaving the organization to become director of Development for the ECF (European Cyclists' Federation) in the spring. According to Mayne, the decision to leave was a difficult one. "CTC is an organization made up of amazing people who share my passion for cycling and I am proud of all we have achieved together. My thanks go to our members and partners who have made it possible. Now I have a really exciting opportunity to take my experience at CTC and use it to help cycling organizations all over grow their influence." "This is a great personal achievement for Kevin and recognition of the way CTC's work for cycling in the UK is respected by our international partners,” commented David Cox, Chair of CTC Council. "I am delighted to see Kevin's career develop in this way and naturally wish him every success for the future. There will be many further opportunities to celebrate and congratulate Kevin in the coming months but I want to put on record my thanks for all he has done for CTC and cycling." Cox went on to say that although Mayne will be a hard act to follow, CTC will commence recruitment for another visionary leader shortly with an advertisement posted on www.ctc.org.uk/ vacancies and in other media.

- China's first ever 29" MTB event slated for Christmas Day ...Top
WTB in conjunction with Format will sponsor China's first 29'' MTB race on December 25th. The Christmas day event, entitled ''WTB-Format 29er XC Challenge Festival'', is one way WTB is celebrating its 30th anniversary – and WTB believes this recreational and elite rider event will finally carry the 29er wave to the Mainland.
''We are delighted to be part of Format's 29'' event, and believe that this event will help fuel the growth of the 29'' market. It is a great opportunity for us to cement the WTB brand in the minds of Chinese consumers when they think about 29ers,'' says Chris Schierholtz, Marketing Manager of WTB. "Many of us at WTB have been enjoying the benefits of 29" wheels for years and look forward to sharing them with our fellow riders in China''.
Format shares WTB's enthusiasm. ''We are determined to open up a new era for mountain biking in China and we are committed to the development of this industry. We are very excited to be working with WTB, pioneers in the 29er movement, and also KMC Chains and Promax to launch the inaugural event and promote our new 29er series of mountain bikes.'' A demo-fleet of Format 29'' bikes will be available at the Guangzhou event for aspiring riders in China to test ride and share their experiences on their social networks.
The 29er event will be held in a forest park just outside the mega-city Guangzhou on a semi-technical 7km loop, raced around five times for a total of 35kms. An expert level rider should be able to complete the course in just over one hour, and there will be a substantial prize list for the top 15 riders, with the winner to collect 10,000rmb ($1,570USD). Actual course profiles, photographs, and other information will be released soon.
- Beijing Bike Week premieres in March ...Top
Beijing's first bicycle industry-specific event, the inaugural Beijing Bike Week, will take place just before the Taipei Show next March. The event will include a bicycle display inside high-end shopping plaza Jinbao Place as well as brand presentations.
Limited to 10 high-end/boutique road bike brands, the show will be held conference style, with focus group and Q&A sessions in both English and Chinese. In addition, the group of experts organizing the event will be providing one-to-one time with the brands on China market entry strategies and offer advice and strategic planning. Previous industry events in China such as China Cycle and the Asia Bike Show have focused on the surrounding areas of Shanghai. While these shows boast an impressive line-up of exhibitors and huge exhibition spaces, Beijing Bike Week aims to curate a smaller and higher quality event providing brands an opportunity to host seminars and product/brand feedback sessions directly for Chinese dealers and consumers.
According to organizers, Chinese consumers think and operate differently to their overseas counterparts and require different approaches and strategies to win their interest. This event is aimed at squarely at helping brands to engage with the Chinese market through the portal of Beijing.
Beijing Bike Week is open to industry and the general public, and promoted to Beijing's cycling consumers. For more information, visit www.beijingbikeweek.com

- Revolights coming in March ...Top
Coming to the market in March 2012, makers are calling their Revolights system a new spin on bicycle rider safety. Unlike traditional bike lights, Revolights enhance both rider vision and visibility to other vehicles on the road, representing the first fully functional lighting and sighting solution based on a spoke/rim/hub mounted design, says the product webpage.
Currently on micro-funding website Kickstarter.com, patent-pending Revolights consist of 2 thin aluminum-alloy LED rings that mount directly to each wheel rim just below the brake calipers with a series of rim-specific clips. Power is supplied through a thin wire connected to the hub, where a small, lightweight USB-rechargeable polymer lithium-ion battery is secured by a special bracket. Meanwhile, a small magnet on the fork provides speed and orientation information to the rings.
So far, clips for the bike lighting system have only been developed for 700c Road Hybrid Bike style rims. Revolights boast easy installation, no ride interference, and double-threat lighting. For more information, visit www.revolights.com/.
Taiwan Company News
- Merida's China revenue up 124% ...Top
Taiwan's second biggest bicycle manufacturer, Merida, has reported 124% revenue growth from the Chinese market during the first ten months of 2011. Sales and volume in China have doubled from last year's and contributed to more than 25% of the group's profits, achieving sales worth over 300 million renminbi (RMB) in the third quarter alone.
According to Merida, demand for higher-end bicycles within China has been especially strong since last year, and sales started to peak earlier this year from March. One contributing factor is the rising average unit price of Merida bicycles in the Mainland, now up 13%. The company is currently in the process of increasing its production capacity in China from 50,000 units to 60,000 to meet growing demand.

- Patrick Morewood introduces PYGA ...Top
Three-time South African downhill champion Patrick Morewood is following up his departure from Morewood Bikes earlier this year with the launch of a new bicycle manufacturing brand: PYGA Industries. Though not scheduled to launch until May of next year, PYGA's first designs - a 110mm 29" trail bike and a 29" hardtail - will premiere in late January. In addition, a third surprise design is in the works.
"I've been hard at work these last few months dreaming up what I want to create and build. I'm really excited about this fresh start and getting to build new bikes," said Morewood in a Bike Radar report. "We will build bikes that above all else work exceptionally well. My belief remains: function first, then form. This is the heart of PYGA Industries." According to Morewood, the separation from his namesake brand and subsequent entry into the trail bike scene is fueled in part by changes in his personal life. "Starting a family and being out of the racing scene, I find myself riding with friends more and more. I spend more time on the trail than I do on race tracks, so that's my focus right now. I'd like to say that I build top-level bikes that are made for riders. Sure you can race them too, and they'll race well, but if you use them every day it'll make me even happier."
