Bicycleart.ca Creates Original P2A Painting
Bicycleart.ca is a brand of bicycle artwork and reproductions created by Luigia Zilli, a professional and published artist with a career of more than 25 years, who is also a cyclist and a bicycle enthusiast. For 2013 Zilli is creating an original P2A work to be auctioned in support of the Milton PanAm Velodrome.
Born and raised in a family of cyclists in a bicycle friendly town, the passion for cycling comes naturally. Zilli also competed in road races back in her native Italy. Continually involved in the cycling environment, one day she chose the bicycle as the subject matter of one of her paintings. And it became her favourite one! Original paintings, including portraits and custom works for rides and teams, limited edition giclee prints on canvas, prints on paper and greeting cards, are some of the works offered through Bicycleart.ca.

Ellen Van Loy is currently 6th in both the UCI and World Cup rankings. She has placed 2nd at the Belgian National Championships as well as earning many podiums in the heartland of cyclocross. For the last twelve years American Christine "Peanut" Vardaros has infiltrated the European cross scene from her home base in Belgium. During this time, she has represented USA at over 25 World Cups as well as 3 World Championships. She is also a Columnist/Writer for CYCLOCROSS Magazine. The home country got a boost with the confirmation of Peter Glassford, (Trek Canada). Peter finished 2nd at P2A in 2007 and since then finished 11th at Leadville, 5th at Canadian Nationals and had a top 25 finish at Mont St Anne MTB World Cup.
