Hey I was wondering if any one knows of Demo days for the Tour Down under this year. Also does any one remember what time frame you could typically demo a bike for based on experience or knowledge of the Demo days from this years TDU.
Cheers,
AJ

If I remember correctly, you can demo from the midrange to flagship bikes.

varies from brand to brand. most were 30 min to an hour but trek let you take them over night. like you tell them before hand and when the villiage closes you go and pick it up and you have to have it back to them before the villiage opens the next day (aronud 2pm)|

given the choice, would you rather share the roads with a woman texting in her four-wheel-drive, a manic truckie, a boy in a grey-import turbo, or a cyclist?

Thanks for the info guys. I wish I could scare the wife with a new bike scare, she scared me to day with words along the lines of my leave pass for TDU has been revoked as it was not made clear it was over Australia day!
