Cyclist Proficiency Patch

Under Review

Material: Embroidered cloth.

Size: 35 x 50 mm.

Description: The focal design displays a dark brown embroidered silhouette of a traditional commuter bicycle cleanly centered within a vibrant, light mint green border ring. This unified circular emblem is machine-stitched onto a coarse, khaki-tan woven cotton canvas backing plate that preserves its original unissued, straight-cut rectangular factory perimeter.

Circa: Mid 20th Century

Notes:

The Cyclist proficiency badge was awarded for practical cycling knowledge, including safe riding and care of a bicycle.

Unable to confirm ID or find an example of this small patch; i am leaning towards scouting, but possible military, or civic origins are possible.
