Bicycle Posters Revised 12/11! Bicycle Posters & Prints was established in 1980 by Judy & Jerry Lambert, who have been cycling & collecting for more than forty years. As a tribute to the many dedicated Olympic cyclists, we have added a new section featuring Olympic Cycling Posters. Below you will see two of these posters - the very first Olympic cycling event in 1896 Athens and the Beijing 2008. The official artist of the U.S. Olympic Team, David Schluss, created the Beijing. He is a cyclist who has been inspired by Lance Armstrong. Lance was on the Barcelona 1992, the Atlanta 1996 and Sydney 2000 Teams. Most of us immediately think of Atlanta because he was diagnosed with cancer soon thereafter. His 6th place TT and 12th place Road might have been Gold otherwise.The bicycle is so much more than a machine for competition. It has been called the noblest invention of mankind and the most civilized conveyance known to man. Our product selection attempts to reflect some of that meaning. The reason we mention Lance Armstrong is that his history goes so far beyond his accomplishments in competition. Both the Tour de France Champion and the Lance Armstrong Foundation were born during Lance's 1996-97 battle with cancer. From that moment on he cycled for more than himself. He thrilled and inspired us all; and at the same time carried the Hope of cancer survivors, patients and health professionals on his shoulders. Every Tour de France victory was linked and magnified by the effect that it had on his community. Lance has tirelessly worked and continues to work to improve Life for those touched by cancer. It has become a life long mission. And yes he still loves to ride his bicycle. A final thought comes from a favorite book THE NOISELESS TENOR, THE BICYCLE IN LITERATURE - titled from a poem that editor James E. Starrs thinks suggests "the subdued whirring of the bicycle in contrast to the noisome clamor of other more modern forms of vehicular conveyance". Our poster collection is large with most of them not on the website; therefore feel free to inquire about any specific poster interests. In addition to posters our site features cycling gifts, mugs, books, calendars, holiday cards , etc. |
