Old cycling sign

This is on the wall of the Hotel we are staying in in Thirsk.
A real piece of cycling history.

There used to be one above the shop where I worked

We have one we ride past now and then. Will take a pic next time we pass it.

Brilliant. Nice to see it well maintained.

Thanks for that link @snorri . There is one in our village, which survived refurbishment of the hotel it is fixed to.

Saw this outside a shop in Marlborough the other day. I presume the shop sells them...

The NCU was a forerunner of British Cycling I believe.

There's a Winged Wheel in Haworth too, on the Black Bull, at the top of the Main Street (the one beloved of the Tour de Yorkshire route planners)

Interesting but I'm more struck by the bricks, which remind me strongly of the Flemish brickwork I admired in Bruges.
