Description
It's no surprise that some of the world's finest photographers have worked in and around a bicycle race at some point in their careers. Cycling provides the perfect subject for reportage, social documentary, and street photography because it happens in real time and real life.
It isn't a traditional stadium or circuit sport: the action happens on the street outside your house, in city centres where people live, or in the mountains where people go to escape. The accessibility of cycling and photography means they share interesting parallels, culturally and historically. The Magnum archive contains work that is exceptional on both counts.
Thematic chapters each feature one 'story' of an iconic moment, event, or scene: the Tour de France, track racing in the velodrome, winter training, and the revelry of the fans and crowds. Images are by a variety of iconic photographers, including Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, Guy Le Querrec, and Harry Gruyaert.
Discover the interplay of these two art forms in Magnum Cycling by Guy Andrews, where each image captures the essence of the sport and its surroundings.

Reviewers highlight its encapsulation of cycling's broad appeal, from competition to cultural spectacle.
