Vintage Cycling
Speed, freedom, and the culture of the first riders.
The art on a piece of vintage cycling ephemera captures something modern design no longer takes the time for. Executed by hand — engraved, lithographed, or typeset with obsessive care — every spoke, every rider, every ornate crest was the work of a craftsman who understood that the bicycle wasn't just a product. It was a statement about who you were and where you were going.
Each framed print in this collection is restored from an original artifact and includes researched historical context and QR access to a narrated audio story. The bicycle reshaped American cities, launched the Good Roads movement, and handed women a kind of freedom that was genuinely new. Worth knowing. Worth talking about. From racing culture to neighborhood dealers to the great cycling manufacturers, these letterheads are dispatches from the golden age of the wheel.
These pieces of paper survived. Beautiful design. Remarkable stories. Both worth framing.
