Birthday cards

Another year older and, as usual, a number of cycling-themed cards. Below are my three favourites:

I like the muscular pose of the Champ rider here, especially with the heroic moustache. I’m less sure about the fact that he’s on some sort of Penny Farthing…




A more ’Impressionistic’ view of the sport called, according to the back of the card, “On The Pace”. Good riding position, armwarmers rolled down suggesting that he’s been giving it the beans in a solo breakaway up the climb and hasn’t got the time to roll them up again. Looks like a Provence landscape – Ventoux?




My favourite. Cycling and cake in perfect union. Imagine the joy in labouring up a hill only to find that it’s actually an almond patisserie. Mmmm!
