美國，雷諾市（Reno）－Interbike主辦單位Emerald Expositions於12月6日宣佈2019年將暫停舉辦該展。隸屬Emerald Expositions的Sports Group副總裁Darrell Denny表示：「美國自行車市場在過去四年相當煎熬。」該國自行車市場原本的情況就不理想，再加上今年川普政府宣佈對中的關稅政策，對Interbike而言更是雪上加霜。
比利時，布魯塞爾（Brussels）－歐盟的交通產業為溫室氣體（GHG）排放最高的單一產業，比1990年的排放量多了約百分之二十，佔總溫室氣體排放的四分之一。今年聯合國氣候大會COP24位波蘭舉辦，加上讓人感到擔憂的氣候預測，是時候了解單車騎乘能夠對抗氣候變遷的真相了。歐洲自行車聯盟（ECF）近期對此做出明確表示。
瑞典，斯哥德爾摩（Stockholm）－天氣好壞一直都是影響自行車銷售的一大因素，今年炎熱無雨的夏季讓瑞典的自行車業績飆升，特別是電動自行車。除了天氣之外，政府的補助政策也是銷售上升的原因。今年瑞典電動自行車熱銷成長53%，銷售總量破10萬。

TAICHUNG, Taiwan - It weighs only 10 grams. The Arofly power meter looks like an odd, oversized valve cap screwed onto the back tyre valve. The newly presented second generation called Arofly Elite just won a Taiwan Excellence Award 2019.
NUNSPEET, the Netherlands - The introduction of new business models on the Dutch retail market was disruptive for the regular IBD business in the past years.

Subscribers onlySTOCKHOLM, Sweden - A cold and chilly start to the preseason is usually never good for bicycle sales. But the hot and rain-free super summer of 2018 has helped to boost sales this year in Sweden. In particular e-bike sales.
