What/who is “CYYYCLES”
Well, this is just one person, Julien Douvier, born in 1990 in Strasbourg, France.
I started photographing bikes in 2014, when I had to learn how to use a camera to become a professional photographer. It worked for a few years, but there was too much confusing paperwork involved.
Today, I’m a bicycle mechanic somewhere near Paris. I no longer take photos for a living, but I kept shooting bikes, and here they all are.
In september 2026, I wondered how many photos and films I had on this website (12 years after the beginning), so I used a tool to count them.
The answer is approximately 10,000 - plus 15 films.
