Chain Reaction Cycles have been announced as the official retail partner of the 2012 UCI BMX World Championships, which take place in Birmingham, England, from 24th to 27th May. The BMX World Championships will see the world’s best BMX riders go head to head as 2000 riders from 40 countries compete for world titles and vital Olympic qualification points in what promises to be a spectacular four days of competition. As retail partner for the championships, Chain Reaction Cycles will be on-site at the National Indoor Arena
in Birmingham offering a range of BMX products and apparel.
Grant Norris, Event Manager at Chain Reaction Cycles commented:
“BMX at the Beijing Olympics captured the imagination of the youth, the excitement, the speed and power of the ride. This coupled with the generally low cost of the bikes and equipment has made this a truly accessible sport for everyone. Four years on we at Chain Reaction Cycles are proud to sponsor the World Championships in May, which will be the final chance for some of those competing to realise their dream of qualifying for the 2012 Olympics. On behalf of Chain Reaction Cycles, Good luck! We look forward to meeting with many of you competing later this year.”
