Posters cycling

Cycling as seen by our artists: pelotons, vintage jerseys, mountain roads and race lines. Each poster is a personal reading of the bike, hand-printed on 270 gsm photo paper with a semi-matte finish in our workshop in Fayence.

Choosing your cycling poster

Which cycling poster should you choose?

The bicycle comes in several registers, and they do not tell the same story:

  • Vintage bicycle poster: old advertising, cycle brands, retro lettering.
  • Cycle race poster: the peloton launched, the final sprint, a breakaway on the road.
  • Legendary climb poster: mountain hairpins, switchbacks, the ascent and the void below.
  • Racing cyclist poster: Julian Alaphilippe, champions, in photograph or illustration.
  • Graphic bicycle poster: a pared-back silhouette, frame and wheels reduced to the line.
  • Vintage cycling poster: Tour de France posters in the old manner, period lettering.

The filters on the left narrow things down by dominant colour, by style and by mood.

Where should you hang a bicycle poster?

  • Living room: a cycle race poster in a large size, alone above the sofa.
  • Office: a graphic bicycle poster, restrained, placed beside the screen.
  • Bedroom: a legendary climb, calmer than a sprint.
  • Hallway: a series of three climbs, in the same size.
  • Garage or home gym: a racing cyclist poster, for the energy of the place.

Tip: vintage posters take a small size well, their lettering stays legible at 21x30.

Racer's portrait or mountain-pass landscape?

  • The portrait captures a face, an effort, an identity: a jersey, a look, a moment of racing.
  • The pass captures a place: the climbing road, the hairpins, the breadth of the landscape around.
  • On an already crowded wall the pass holds better; it brings calm rather than detail.
  • The portrait needs a wall that leaves it air, alone or with a single other piece.
  • For a series, stay in one register: three passes together, or three racers, never the two mixed.

Poster, print or picture: what is the difference?

All three words mean the same thing here: a printed image that you hang on the wall. We say poster because we print on photo paper, never on canvas. The same image is also available on a metal plate, in several sizes.

  • With frame: black, white or light oak, assembled and ready to hang.
  • Without frame: the sheet alone, to slide into the frame you already have.
