Bicycle is one of the world's most iconic brands of playing cards, originally introduced by the United States Printing Company in 1885. The brand became famous for its high-quality finishes and classic designs, which remain a staple in both casual games and professional magic performances today. The 'Prestige' line specifically offers a 100% plastic alternative to the traditional paper-based decks, providing greater durability and a distinct feel for poker players.

The brand was originally founded in Cincinnati, Ohio, and for over a century, was managed by the United States Playing Card Company (USPCC). In 2019, the Belgian card manufacturer Cartamundi acquired USPCC, bringing the legacy American brand under European ownership. While the brand maintains a strong American heritage and its primary manufacturing facility remains in Erlanger, Kentucky, it is now part of the global Cartamundi portfolio, the world's largest producer of playing cards and board games.
