Going back to the origins

The Bohemian company has been dealing with bicycles since the first years of activity. The founders, Vaclav Laurin e Vaclav Klement, started with pedal two-wheelers and in 1905 expanded production to also include cars. Throughout its 125-year history the house has remained linked to bicycles. A relationship highlighted by 16 years as Official Partner of Tour de France, with the supply of cars to the race management, the organization and various participating teams.
