This large educational chart, titled “Hvad der skal være på din cykel” (“What Your Bicycle Must Have”), was produced for Danish traffic-safety education and features a charming combination of history, diagrams, and visual instructions.
The poster shows a classic Danish city bicycle with 7 required safety features, along with historical bicycle designs from 1860s–1920s. Its soft olive-green background, bold red typography, and clean mid-century layout make it perfect wall décor for cycling lovers, Scandinavian design fans, or anyone who loves retro educational prints.
