Cyclists is an exquisite collection of hundreds of candid photographs. This book is a selection of 150 men and women riding bicycles on Toronto’s streets in 2011 and 2012. These remarkable pictures are street style/fashion portraits. They are stolen public moments given back to us as art and history. This book is an inspirational visual document of Toronto’s cyclists’ movement, what is and should be. The dangerous and enlightened world of commuting with traffic and trucks. The work of photographer Lincoln Clarkes mirrors elements of our culture that are front and centre, and shows us a curious new vision. Clarkes has been honing in on and capturing perceived moments of passing elegance for decades. These fresh and beautiful portraits are a tribute to his cyclists’ subjects.
