THE PASSION OF CYCLING FANS
21ST – 29TH SEPTEMBER
To mark one of the high points in British cycling, the Yorkshire held, UCI Road World Championships, we’ve created Hup Hup Hup.
The passion of cycling fans is unquestionable. From following every minute of a stage to spending hours crafting homemade flags to cheer on their heroes. It’s these flags we’re using to celebrate cycling, fans and passion.
We’ve invited 9 leading designers & artists from around the world to create their own flag. Interpreting their passion for cycling in their own distinctive way.
The flags will be exhibited from 21st – 29th September, at the North Bar, Harrogate, Yorkshire during the Championships.
