What/who is “CYYYCLES”

Well, this is just one person, Julien Douvier, born in 1990 in Strasbourg, France.

I started photographing bikes in 2014, as had to learn how to use a camera because I thought I could become a professional photographer.

It worked for a few years, but there was too much confusing paperwork involved, so after a few years I gave up.

I became a bicycle mechanic, somewhere near Paris.

I no longer take photos for a living.

But I kept shooting bikes.
