Our Posters provide a glimpse of an era when the bicycle was the king of transportation and on the cutting edge of technology.
These posters depict famous races and racers, bicycle brands and component manufactures.
Beautiful women in elegant clothes are often part of the advertising message of these posters. This is because the manufacturers were selling freedom to women in the suffragette era at the turn of the century as much as they were selling bicycles.
The Peace Race was an annual stage race held in the Iron Curtain states of Czechoslovakia, Poland and East Germany. It was organized in 1948, to relieve tensions between the Central European countries following World War II. The race was run by the three states ruling Communist parties' newspapers and it was called the Tour de France of the East". After the fall of communism in 1989, the Peace Race was commercialized and organizers had trouble with funding. The race was last held in 2006.
