What is “CYYYCLES”?
Well, this is just one person, Julien Douvier, a bike mechanic currently 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.
I used to be a pro photo/videographer some time ago, you can see here what I used to do back then.

In this film:
What is ‘CYYYCLES’ - who is behind it, why shooting bikes, and what event made me realise that something had to be done with these photos to make them more durable - my cycling accident & the book.
Digital images require a lot of things to exist and to be viewed (I was about to list these requirements, but there were too many). A book doesn't need much to exist; once printed, it's there for some time.
The second part starting from 6:42 explains how I managed to sort these photos into three categories and what are the differences between them.
I had a lot of trouble speaking during the filming of this video which remains the most annoying consequence of my accident, even two year later, even more than my defective eye… But at least, I can still ride bikes︎
