Haute Velo is a new bicycle-themed poster show taking place in Orlando this spring.
Event organizers Mark Egeland and Tim Hayes were inspired by ArtCrank (Website) a huge bike poster party featuring art by local artists that started in Minneapolis but has since expanded to shows across the country and to London, England.
