The Bikeriders
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout
"The Bikeriders" tells the first-hand stories and personalities of the Chicago Outlaws Motorcycle Club. First published in 1968, the book contains original black-and-white photographs and transcribed interviews that Lyon conducted between 1963 and 1967 as a member of the Outlaws gang.
Lyon's authentic, personal and uncompromising portrayal of people on the fringes of society offers a gritty yet human perspective that undermines more commercial portrayals of Americana. Drawing on the documentary style of 1960s New Journalism made famous by writers such as Hunter S. Thompson, Joan Didion and Tom Wolfe, Lyon's photographs are lush reportage at its finest. The Bikeriders is a landmark of 1960s counterculture and helped shape the image of the outlaw biker as seen in Easy Rider and countless other films and photo books.
