June brought summer heat and serious momentum to the cycling world. From long-awaited trade shows to the rise of smart bike gear and new names on the racing scene, it has been a month full of exciting turns. Whether you are training for your next fondo or just soaking up cycling culture, here is your June cycling round-up with the biggest bike moments of the month.

Global gear watch: smart and sustainable

This month, all eyes were on tech-meets-design. Here is what stood out in the gear world:

Smarter safety systems

Urban cyclists got a big upgrade in June, as brands rolled out integrated safety features like radar-powered brake lights, laser lane projectors, and app-controlled indicators. The goal? Better visibility and smarter commuting.

E-Bike innovation moves fast

Manufacturers keep integrating modular battery systems more and more effectively, allowing riders to go further and charge faster. Paired with lighter frames and sleek motor integration, these bikes are starting to look (and ride) like the future.

Racing recap: summer momentum

While the Tour de France looms large in July, June still delivered a steady stream of race action across Europe and beyond:

• Tour de Suisse Women saw aggressive climbing and a standout performance by Marlen Reusser, who took the GC with bold breakaways.
  
• Men’s Route d’Occitanie delivered a thrilling finish, Frenchman Nicolas Prodhomme claiming victory and further proving he is one to watch.
  
• National Championships buzzed across the globe, from Belgium to Finland, crowning champions just in time for Tour season.

The comeback of bike fairs

Trade shows are no longer just business events, they are full-blown celebrations of cycling. After several years of scaled-down formats, bike fairs are back, and June marked a real turning point.

Why they matter (more than ever)

In a digital-first world, bike expos bring real-life excitement. These events let you:

• Test ride the newest bikes on live tracks.
• Chat with designers, engineers, and founders.
• Discover gear before it hits the shelves.
• Connect with riders, media, and advocacy groups.
• Get a front-row seat to the industry’s future.

Eurobike – Frankfurt, Germany

Eurobike 2025 just wrapped up in Frankfurt after five action-packed days (June 25–29), bringing together over 1,500 exhibitors from more than 60 countries. It was an incredible showcase of innovation, technology, and community in the cycling world. What went down:

• Business Days focused on networking and industry insights, with new partnerships and bold announcements setting the stage for future growth.
• Festival Days welcomed cycling enthusiasts from all over, with test tracks buzzing as riders tried the latest e-bikes, cargo bikes, and cutting-edge gear.
