Coming off a successful inaugural year, registration is now open for the 2010 San Diego Custom Bicyle Show. The show will be bigger and better and will now be a 3 day event running from April 9-11, 2010. The Town & Country Resort will once again be the host hotel, with a floorspace twice the size of this year’s event.

Exhibitor fees will not change from 2009’s prices. With 2010 looking like it will be filled with shows across the country, plan out your year and decide on whether the San Diego Custom Bicycle Show would be a good fit for you.
