Bike Shed Show 2019

One of the world’s coolest custom bike shows turns ten this year… we went along to check it out.

Now in its tenth year, the Bike Shed Show continued its residence at the Tobacco Docks in London this bank holiday weekend and with over 250 custom motorcycles, the event has truly become one not to miss.

We say “show” but really it’s more of a gathering, with cool eateries and bars, live music, tattoists, trade stands, a huge selection of custom built bikes from all around the world and, of course, the Bike Shed’s barbers.

Having been to the show a few times in the past, there are a few things we can say for certain about this year’s event; it’s bigger than ever before (you can easily spend a full day or two taking it all in) and it has one of the best vibes of any show we’ve been to. The people are friendly, relaxed, and you’ll find many of the bikes’ builders themselves hanging around their machines for a chat.

Here’s a small selection of our highlights from the Bike Shed’s 2019 show.
