The poster slogan is in black [cyclists] and white.

A secondary slogan, 'MAKE SURE YOU ARE SEEN' is in mint. The image is of the back of a bike, in black with white wheel guards and a red light, and cyclist [cut off at the waist] in black block silhouette. The edges of the cyclist and tyre have been dabbed and this gives the appearance of texture. A red circle is on the cyclist's right thigh [depicting his front light]. The background colour is dark blue blending into mint at the footer. Measures, 75cm by 19.5cm. Printed by, Loxley Bros Ltd.
