If you want a chance to see the latest 2009 model bikes in the flesh and try them out before you buy, you need to book yourself a place on one of BikeRadar's Bike Demo Days.

The first of the series kicks off this Saturday at Cannock Chase, England. To book yourself a place, go to www.bikeradar.com/demodays.

The dates for the rest of the series are as follows:
* 21 February, Cannock Chase, West Midlands
* 7 March, Afan, South Wales
* 21 March, Dalby Forest, Yorkshire
* 4 April, Glentress, Scotland

What you need to bring:
A utility bill and photographic identification (these can be provided by a parent or guardian for younger riders). If you have your own helmet and/or pedals and would like to bring them that’s no problem. Otherwise, these will be provided.

There's a video on the Demo Days website showing you how to book the bike you want to ride.
