It was my first time at the Ally Pally bike show and second bike show (of this kind) ever. The other one was the NEC in 2007. I liked it, loved the bikes, the relaxed atmosphere, it wasn't too busy and the building is absolutely gorgeous with a fantastic view from this steep hill. Much closer than Birmingham and free parking so this one has my vote. I get tired v easily at shows like these so something relatively small suits me!
