This despite it still being the biggest and most important bike show in the US.<\/p>\n<p>I went to this year\u2019s Interbike to see what the show was like and to sampled some good ol\u2019 US hospitality. Here are a few things that caught my eye about the show and its iconic surroundings.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-15366 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Socks-LR-e1442920262347.jpg\" alt=\"giro long socks\" width=\"768\" height=\"535\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 768px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 768\/535;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Socks<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019re not getting into the length debate here but there were an awful lot of socks on show this year.

It is run under floodlights on a hardpack surface in evening desert heat. It\u2019s weird to watch cross at night and in shorts and still be warm.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s race also had the prestige of being the first round of the UCI Cyclo Cross World Cup with the world\u2019s top racers making the trip from Europe to ride. Cow bells rang out throughout the course and there were the obligatory Belgians waving flags and downing beer.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-15363 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Kask-1-LR-768x576.jpg\" alt=\"Kask enduro helmet\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Kask-1-LR-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.merlincycles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Kask-1-LR.jpg 1024w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 768px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 768\/576;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>KASK Rex enduro lid<\/h2>\n<p>Sponsoring Team Sky really put Kask into the limelight instantly.
