Some people hang art on their walls for the look.
Cyclists? We do it for the feeling.
There’s something about the grit of a Tour de France climb, the swoop of a switchback, or the elegance of a steel-framed bike that stays with you. It’s why more and more people are turning to vintage cycling posters — not just as decoration, but as a way of living the ride, every day.
Why Vintage Cycling Art Just Works
It’s got charm, but not in a dusty, antique-shop way.
Think bold colours, strong lines, and a real sense of motion.
The kind of poster that pulls you in, even if you don’t ride.
At Red Brick Design, we’re big fans of the old-school. Our cycling art takes inspiration from early 20th-century race posters — a time when everything was hand-drawn, purposeful, and dramatic.
Whether it’s a nod to the yellow jersey or a climb through the Alps, these prints don’t just fill space. They tell stories.
From Saddle to Sofa: Why Cyclists Are Hanging Posters, Not Just Bikes
Let’s face it — most cycling gifts are either technical or forgettable. Another water bottle? A pair of socks? Useful, yes. Memorable? Not really.
Vintage cycling art hits differently.
-
It reminds you why you love the ride
-
It marks a moment — your first century, your first Tour watch party, your favourite route
-
It adds personality to your home without shouting
-
It speaks to who you are, even when the bike’s in the shed
Whether you’re riding every weekend or just daydreaming between meetings, having that visual reminder on your wall means something.
Where It Fits: Rooms That Welcome the Ride
You don’t need a man cave or a converted barn to hang cycling posters. They look great in all sorts of spaces:
Living Room
Hang one big A1 Tour de France print over the sofa for a clean, bold statement.
Home Office
Remind yourself to keep pedalling — even when you're grinding out emails.
Garage or Bike Room
Pair your pride-and-joy ride with a retro print of the mountains it dreams of.
Bedroom
Something calm and nostalgic for a subtle cycling vibe.
Bonus: It’s a cracking gift
Know a mate who's obsessed with climbs or cafés? One of these prints will mean more than any multi-tool ever could.
Tour de France: The Art of the Iconic Race
There’s no race like it.
The Tour de France isn’t just a cycling event — it’s theatre. The Alps, the cobbles, the sprint finishes... It's beauty and chaos wrapped in yellow.
That’s why our Tour de France poster is one of the most popular pieces in our collection. It captures the energy, the history, and the sheer madness of it all — in bold lines and rich, vintage tones.
Whether you’ve watched every stage since you were a kid or only recently discovered the thrill of Le Tour, this print belongs on your wall.
