There's a reason why bike manufacturers agonise over every curve, scallop and carefully machined perforation on their designs. Yes, sure, performance, but there's also the unbridled perfectionism of the discerning cyclist. We're sticklers for beautiful, thoughtful, heritage-infused design, and by golly do we like a good font.
If you know a rider who also considers him or herself to be a bit of an aesthete, here’s a list that’s sure to make them happy. (Likewise, if you’re a bit of a bike snob yourself, prepare to want.)
The Handmade Cyclist prints
There are cycling posters, and then there are The Handmade Cyclist’s cycling posters. Taking inspiration from cycling’s most iconic climbs, routes and monuments, THC’s graphical style means the images are arresting for cyclists and civilians alike – although anyone with a fondness for bikes will appreciate them all the more.

It’s made from treated, water-resistant leather, and has a waterproof zip. It looks the part, too.
