Racing god - or goddess? Simplified line drawing against pink background is very stylish  Ecuador 1975 / Third Ecuadorian Sports Games in Quito  p.s. The rider must be Atahualpa from Quito, by the feather head decoration.. ? |

Thanks, Rod! The Military Geographic Institute - they must be in charge of map making? Great to know. This one is - simplified circles and riding positioned racers - which are the exact trace of US stamp from 1972, summer Olympic Games in Munich (featured in this thread on p18).

Hi bicyclestamps - that is the ultimate! (I read about Stefan Gruev, but no lines are telling me his activities in bicycle racing.. ) I have looked up anything like it, but couldn't find - instead, here is a wheel which suggest us nothing else than a bicycle. DDR 29 July 1969 / World Sports Championships / Bicycle wheel: World Covered Court Championships, Erfurt / design: G. Stauf  |

Hi bicyclestamps - I read about completely different person by googling the name... he was a Macedonian Bulgarian revolutionary activist! Good to know that the guy with pencil on ear is related to stamp design. And the rims! It must be fun playing with them and here are more.. they are rotating fast! Poland 25 April 1955 / 8th International Peace Cycle Race / design: Cz. Kaczmarczyk  |
