PARIS, France ¨C The gap in the international bicycle show calendar that was left behind by IFMA-Cologne has been filled up by the Paris Cycle Show. Yesterday the organizer of the "Salon du Cycle" announced that the show will take place every year as of 2010.
In that year the Paris Cycle Show will take place from September 10th until the 13th. This is shortly after Eurobike and more important for the French market, before Roc d'Azur and R'Bike.
The annual pace of the bicycle show can be regarded as a test. According to the show organizers some 80% of the bicycle exhibitors preferred a show every year, even if this means that the cycle show will be a stand alone event. The motor and scooter show will remain a bi-annual event.
