Yorkshire proudly hosts the start of the 2014 Tour de France in July and The Civic, Barnsley has celebrated with BIKE SHOW; an exhibition examining the spectacle of the Tour De France, the best in bicycle innovation and the influence of cycling culture on contemporary design.

| Some of Grey Fox's vintage cycling jerseys at Bike Show |
I was privileged to be asked to lend some of my vintage cycling jerseys to the show. I love their colour, style and the links to the perhaps more innocent days of pro cycling when bikes were heavy and jerseys were made of wool and/or thick knitted acrylic.
Part of Yorkshire Festival 2014, BIKE SHOW is 100 days of art and culture welcoming the Grand Départ of the Tour de France. 16th May to 12th July at The Civic, Barnsley, Yorkshire.
