No it didn't, that thread is by one of the exhibitors and has only two replies which don't mention what they thought of the show.
Scottish Bike Show - rubbish!

This is the only reference they made to the Scottish bike show:
"Our second show was at the first ever Scottish Bike Show held at the SECC in Glasgow. Met a lot of people some of who post on this forum - Arellcat of course who enjoyed meeting some potential customers. We had some sales so very happy as these events aren't cheap.
I reckon that this wil be the first time that a selection like an Alize, Sprint, Fujin SLI and Fuego would be shown alongside mainstream bikes in Scotland. Quite unusual in UK even.
I also had a customers Fuego with SON hub on show saturday having been cycled 50 miles over central Scotland. On Sunday I had another customers Fujin SLII - all good as it shows the bikes in use.
Once show started we had full stall all the time."
So the floor space WAS expensive; and it was busy. Busy doesn't necessarily mean good, just that a lot of curious people went along to see what it was like. So like a lot of others, I have seen it, wasn't impressed and won't be going back!
I was confused as to what the bike show was all about. £6.50 to visit Alpine Bikes? Pardon?
Charging £1 to allow access to a (zero liability) bike rack would be offensive at a car show. Or at a swimming pool or a shopping centre. At a bike show it is plain weird. And also quite patronising, as if saying it's a fun way for us to participate in proper grown-up car culture. Misjudged, at best.
