Foregoing Interbike for it's own show, Trek invited dealers and media (no bloggers!) to the Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center. Cyclingnews got a golden ticket to the event and reported with photos.

From the report, I've got another item on my list to check out. It's Shimano's Coasting drivetrain. Last month BikePortland posted some early photos and announced that Portland had been chosen as a pilot city to test the new drivetrain. (Seattle was possibly not chosen cause of all the hills?)

If Shimano and bike builders succeed with Coasting, that'll create a whole new bunch o' bike huggers.
