Cycling Wooden Plaque with Green Bicycle - Black & Natural

This wooden plaque celebrates life on two wheels, with the word Cycling across the top in wide-spaced white capitals and a full passage of lettering beneath it. The text salutes masters of the open road and conquerors of climbs, nods to country lanes, city traffic and the perfect sunrise, and doesn't forget the rider who has earned their cake stop, before signing off with ready to roll. A green bicycle with a tan saddle and grips sits in the lower right corner, cut out and raised from the face so it stands slightly proud of the lettering. The black face has softly rounded corners and sits on a natural wood block, a simple two-tone pairing that keeps the words easy to read. It measures 14.6cm tall, 12cm wide and 2.5cm deep.

At 2.5cm deep it is a chunky block rather than a thin sign, so it stands upright on its own on a shelf, a desk or a mantelpiece. It suits a study, a home office or a hallway where the bikes are kept, and at 12cm wide it fits easily beside route maps, medals and photos from rides gone by. The black and natural finish sits comfortably with warm wood, dark painted walls and modern shelving alike, and the green of the bicycle adds a small note of colour without pulling attention from the words.

The plaque is made of wood, with the natural grain left showing around the edges of the block and the cut-out bicycle adding a little depth to the black face. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp, as you would any wooden piece. It makes a thoughtful gift that says plenty without needing a card, and we like it propped on the desk where the next ride gets planned.
