The Bikeriders / Danny Lyon


For a project at work researching motorcycle gangs, I fell across the photographic work of Danny Lyon.

After some of his earlier work photographing the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee's involvement with the civil rights movement in the early '60's, Danny embarked on a study of outlaw motorcyclists between 1963-1967, photographing, riding with, and eventually joining the Chicago Outlaws MC. A product of his time with the Outlaws is The Bikeriders.
