Pedal back in time with this Michelin bicycle tyre poster from the early 1900s. This delightful artwork features the iconic Michelin Man, Bibendum, cheerfully riding a bicycle with a punctured tire, demonstrating the resilience and reliability of Michelin tyres even in the face of adversity. The poster's vibrant colors, Art Nouveau influences, and playful imagery evoke a sense of nostalgia and the golden age of cycling.

Did You Know?

The Michelin Man, officially named Bibendum, was originally depicted as a rather portly gentleman enjoying cigars and champagne. In early posters, he was even shown drinking a glass filled with nails and broken glass, symbolizing the durability of Michelin tires! Over time, Bibendum slimmed down and adopted a more family-friendly image, but his enduring presence as a brand mascot speaks to the power of early advertising and the lasting impact of vintage design.

Add this charming and nostalgic piece to your cart today and let the allure of this Michelin bicycle tyre poster bring a touch of cycling history and advertising art to your home.
