Bomboland has a ton of great artistic-cyling (and radball) matchbox labels scanned on his Flickr and website from the mid-60′s. I’ve taken the liberty of posting the rest from his Flickr below. These pieces are very Post-Constructivism-inspired; as is typical of athletic art from the Czech republic in that era.

Radball! Which translates to Bike-ball.

ABOUT PiNP

John Watson

Prolly is not Probably started in 2006 in Brooklyn, New York. For over 6 years it has thrived as John Watson, the sole author, documents multiple facets of cycling. With the boom of urban cycling, Prolly is Not Probably has grown to be the number one blog for the culture surrounding track bikes, fixed gears and fixed freestyle. In recent years, a large push for original content has spawned a steady flow of photosets and portraits.

Known for his A Day in 10 Photos, Merckx Mondays, Recent Roll, Shop Visits, and Beautiful Bicycles features, John continues to document bicycles of all kinds and his daily life through photos. Over the years, Prolly is Not Probably has been cited in the New York Times, COG Magazine, Urban Velo and other notable publications. In March of 2011, John moved to Austin, Texas where he continues to cover a cross section of cultural influences.
