Australia’s Spoken show to remain in Sydney for 2026

Australia's boutique cycling show, Spoken, has confirmed it will remain in Sydney for its 2026 iteration. Previously known as the Handmade Bicycle Show Australia, the event expanded its focus beyond just handmade frames to encompass a broader range of boutique cycling brands. This announcement follows the show's planned relocation from Melbourne to Sydney for the upcoming 2025 event, marking a consecutive commitment to the New South Wales capital.

This decision solidifies Sydney's position as the host for Australia's premier showcase of niche cycling craftsmanship and innovation. The move to Sydney for 2025 was a significant shift, and the subsequent commitment for 2026 suggests a strategic long-term vision for the event's growth and accessibility within the Australian market. For the smaller, independent builders and brands that form the core of Spoken, a consistent venue offers stability and a clearer planning horizon.

Evidently, the organisers have found a home in Sydney. Let's hope the boutique spirit isn't lost amidst the harbour city's broader appeal.
