CCTV.com, China’s major news website, has launched a new web channel: ev.cctv.com. The new channel will report on news regarding electric bikes and other electric vehicles, or EV’s. Their hope is to inform and educate the benefits of electric transport to improve the quality of the environment, and also cut down congestion in major cities throughout China.

The CCTV crew will be reporting live news from the Tianjin Bike show, the second biggest bike show in China, through the new ‘EV’ channel and also a magazine/brochure.

The live show will focus on interviews with governor’s, environmental experts and electric vehicle companies.

You can visit the special web page for the Tianjin show here: ev.cctv.com/tianjin2008 to search for news, information and videos.

Just a reminder that the Tianjin Bicycle Association Sponsored, China North International Cycle Show is just around the corner. The show is in its 8th year and will feature companies from home and abroad.

The show will be held at the Tianjin International Expo Center and Tianjin Sports Center. With a covered exhibiting area of 60000 sqm with 2200 booths, the show is bound to be of a grand scale and, will attract famous exhibitors such as Giant, Merida, Shimano, Holland Mechinics, Sykee and Goldenwheel.

We’ll be there to see what’s on display, so watch this space for full report and photos.

This Sunday will be a similar deal to the ride 2 weeks ago.

Meet at 9:30 (ish) at the Diner for a spot of breakfast, then on to the TV tower in Jilin Shan for a ride. This week as were setting off earlier than usual I suggest we try to do the ride twice.
