Absolutely wonderful photograph of an enormous flood of cyclists, and on the left a 1938 poster asking cyclists to "Set other road users an example" with respect to the Highway Code
A wonderful historical drawing - at the London Transport Museum, welcoming in the new suburban buses: "We used to have to cycle to the station; but now we have the bus."
Exhibit showing cyclists (or rather, just each bike and safety clothing suspended) on a cycle lane, at the London Transport Museum. Shame that these don't represent the actual range of cyclists - why not cycle chic instead?

Poster at the London Transport Museum: "Londoners like to bike": These vehicles are carrying ... 69 people who could all ... be on this one bus. Click on the picture to see the pictures, which really tell a good story.
Delightful poster at the London Transport Museum about the Woolwich Free Ferry, showing some cyclists presumably wanting to get on the ferry.
