It is the first weekend of March, so for southern Ontario cyclists that  means it is time for the annual Toronto Bike Show.  Bike shops offer  deals on last year's stuff, and manufacturers show off the new products  that are starting to appear in the stores.
 
 Today, the exhibitors were all busy setting up their booths, so we took a  brief tour and some snapshots to show you what goes on in the  background of a show.

We have two special announcements for attendees:
 1. Canadian Cyclist has teamed up with  
Café Domestique to bring you an  in-show espresso bar, run by master barista Krys Hines.  Besides great  coffee, you can purchase beans from Krys, and a portion of all the  proceeds will go towards the 
Forest City Velodrome.  Drop by to chat and  have a shot of espresso! 
 2. 
Shimano has a special offer to readers of Canadian Cyclist:  They  have a limited number of Saint hoodies and, if you go to their booth and  tell them that Canadian Cyclist sent you, they will give you one for  free - this is the only way to get one of these hoodies.  Quantities are  limited, so make it one of your first stops at the show.
