The Tour De France kicks off in Rotterdam this weekend and to celebrate we’ve hastily put together a trio of our favourite cycling posters. Eagle eyed viewers will notice that none of them are Tour De France posters, but we like them and thats all that matters. The first two are vintage, but the last one brings us right up to date with an advert for the 2012 London Olympics.

Of course we couldn’t go without mentioning Kraftwerk’s seminal album, which is possibly one of the most iconic album covers ever designed. The design was adapted from an image that had appeared on a 1953 Hungarian postage stamp (thank you Wikipedia).

So, Chapeau to all the riders and good luck to Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish!
