You Are What You Ride: Two French Designers Create Illustrated Bike Taxonomy

Romain Bourdieux and Thomas Pomarelle of Cyclemon have created a series of posters in an homage to the race, and bike riding in general.

This year the Tour de France turns 100 years old. In celebration of their country's legacy, French illustrators and designers Romain Bourdieux and Thomas Pomarelle of Cyclemon have created a series of posters in an homage to the race, and bike riding in general. The illustrations playfully stereotype what kind of rider you are based on your wheels, including weirdos, hipsters, grandpas, and cougars all in the mix.

Check out their clever animation, and images below, and let us know what kind of cyclist you are in the comments.
