Ontario print shop produces cycling print

Peterborough cycling group giving away five limited edition letterpress prints

In the December/January issue of Canadian Cycling Magazine, we featured Peterborough, Ontario as a riding destination. A group of cycling fans from the area has formed www.ptborides.com, a website that promotes the area as a cycling destination with some of the routes and ride maps we talked about in our feature.

To help promote the site, ptborides.com has paired up with Jackson Creek Press, which operates a human-powered 1924 Chandler and Price printing press in Peterborough. They created a limited edition cycling-themed print featuring the names of what the designers deem to be some of the greatest Canadian riders – Steve Bauer, Alex Stieda, Michael Barry, Ryder Hesjedal and Svein Tuft.

Five of the prints will be given away through the ptborides.com website HERE and the rest are available through Jackson Creek Press HERE.

Below you can see a video of the making of the prints:
