台灣，台中-台中自行車週在過去幾年已經發展成產品經理和其他業界人士在其行事曆裡會設定的年度活動之一。我們有足夠的理由期待參展商(見下面平面圖)和參訪的公司數量，和2014年相比，又會再一次增加。

SACRAMENTO, USA - California Governor Jerry Brown signed a first-of-its-kind bill that legalizes e-bikes in the sunshine state. According to bicycle associations such as the Bicycle Product Suppliers Association (BPSA), PeopleForBikes and the California Bicycle Coalition it, "Creates a model for future statewide efforts to increase e-bike access."

BRUSSEL, Belgium - While many countries are easing the legislation to promote the use of e-bikes, the Belgium Ministry of Transport wants to prohibit e-bike use under the age of 16. Industry organization FederVelo asked for the inclusion of this prohibition as, "16 year olds are often not yet so skillful to control an e-bike," said FederVelo secretary Daniël Labours.

CHEMNITZ, Germany - The growing number of e-bikes and the possibility of higher speeds present rising concerns about road safety, in particular the risk of crashes and accidents. But is there any reason for that?

MARCLOPT, France - Specially for enduro use Mach1 developed the 5.50SL rim. With just 600 grams for the 29-inch version, the 5.50SL is very light in this category.

美國，華盛頓- 至少有13個製造商和經銷商共17個品牌展開自主性召回，對象為配備前輪碟煞和快拆握把的自行車。

英國，WOLVERHAMPTON- 為了促進其網路零售業務不斷擴展，占地3萬平方公尺的Wiggle全新配送中心最近開幕了。Wiggle公司花了兩年時間，從其原先在朴茨茅斯的總部遷移了240公里到新的配送中心。

TAICHUNG, Taiwan - In the past years, the Taichung Bike Week has grown to be one of the annual set dates in the schedule for products managers and other industry insiders. There is every reason to expect that the number of exhibitors (see floor plans underneath) and visiting companies will be bigger again compared with the 2014 edition.

HANNOVER, Germany - The Teasi Volt is the multi-functional e-bike GPS device available as OEM solution as well as aftermarket option for retailers. It is compatible with the TranzX, Ansmann and Brose systems.

WOLVERHAMPTON, UK - To facilitate the ongoing expansion of its on-line retail business Wiggle recently opened a brand new 30,000 square meters distribution centre. It took the company two years to prepare the 240 kilometres move from its previous base in Portsmouth.
