During his cycling career Bohlin won four national titles and two Swedish six-day races (in 1924 and 1926). He retired in 1927 after finishing fourth at the road world championships. He later changed to motorcycling, and together with engineer Gösta Rödén created a 250 cc that set a new Swedish speed record.[3]
