CycleLove celebrates bike culture — the art, design, brands, fashion and most importantly, the people — involved in cycling.

This is a self-initiated project, inspired by the documentary about octagenargin cyclist/photograph Bill Cunninghan. I watched the film and thought, wait a minute... I have a camera and a bike too... what's stopping me taking some photos here? (The real answer to this was my shyness, which is slowly diminishing as I stop more and more people on bikes to take their photo).

So, I cranked out some logos and a minimal Wordpress website, and CycleLove was born. It's been a creative rush for me... a way to reconnect with the things I love about graphic design... and after years of having my advice ignored by clients, a way to do something that I can pour my soul into.

Earlier in the year I quit my job, packed up my home and travelled across the US, taking photos of people and bikes as I travelled.

The latest addition to the site are our hand-printed t-shirts, which are soon to be joined by a range of posters and mugs, all celebrating the simple pleasure of riding a bike.

The best way to support CycleLove is to buy a t-shirt — the site is ad free and does not generate income any other way at present. (and I'd like to keep it that way for as long as possible).
