\nIt is one of the two largest tire manufacturers in the world along with Bridgestone.

\n

French tire company Michelin has been around for a very long time. This is probably why their pudgy white mascot Bibendum is now intrinsically part of cycling graphic design. We are all familiar with his layered tire appearance, but we may be less acquainted with the history of the brand. It is actually one of the oldest in the world.

\n

In 1997, Olivier Darmon published a definitive Michelin history. The book is called Le Grand Siècle de Bibendum (The Michelin Man: 100 Years of Bibendum). Somehow we just can not help but smile when looking at Bib. We wish he still smoked though – as with everything, he was way cooler back then.
