What/who is “CYYYCLES”?

Well, this is just one person, Julien Douvier, 35 years old in 2025.

I used to be a pro photographer/content creator some time ago, but not anymore.
You can see here what I used to do at that time.

I’m now a bike mechanic living near Paris - France.

This website is just a gallery to showcase the cycling photos and videos I shoot as a hobby since 2014.
I don't really know why I'm doing this, and I don't know when I will stop, but I wanted to keep a track of it.

The real reason I started photographing my friends and their bikes in 2014 was because I needed something to shoot to learn how to use my camera in order to become a pro photographer. It didn't work out as planned—today I'm no longer a photographer, but I've continued to shoot bikes.

Oh, and by the way, even ten years later, I still no idea how to pronounce “cyyycles”.
