At the first York Rally, in 1945, five thousand people gathered together in a celebration of cycling after the war.

One of the show’s founders was Ron Kitching, then a Harrogate bike shop owner, later to become one of tghe UK’s most powerful P&A distributors.

"As well as being a highlight of the calendar for thousands of cyclists, York Cycle Show provides the bike trade with an excellent platform from which to reach a huge number of customers," said CTC director Kevin Mayne
