It may still be months away, but preparation for the York Cycle Show – taking place on the final weekend of Bike Week 2010 – is well underway, with plenty of bike firms signed up already.

The show organiser has told BikeBiz it is planning to top last year’s total of 53 exhibitors. Nineteen companies have confirmed already, six of which will be making their York Show debut.

Organised rides ranging from 20 miles to 150km will also take place, as will a zero gravity stunt show, cyclists’ service at the Minster and the Grand Parade through the picturesque city.
