EICMA show

Milan, Italy, September 15-18, 2006

Sempre Multo Bello, Sempre Piu Piccolo

"Always very beautiful, always smaller"

By Tim Maloney in Milan

The 2006 EICMA Milano bicycle show kicked off on September 15 at the Fieramilano fairgrounds. Italy's top cyclists were on hand for the opening as the Italian national team for the upcoming World Championships was officially announced, while Italian cycling stars like Mario Cipollini and Paola Pezzo also added some glamour. Athough the skies opened up with a torrential rainstorm that flooded the autostrada, the wet weather couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the Italian dealers and public for what has become, in it's 65th running, mostly a domestic Italian bicycle trade show. Gone are the glory days when the EICMA bicycle show was run at the same time as the motorcycle show at the original Milano Fiera grounds in the city center, but there was little nostalgia for those days of yore in Pavillions 22 & 24, just a lot of excitement for the latest & greatest from the Italian bicycle industry.
