Did You Know?

Bike commuting in Cleveland grew 280% between 2000 and 2010.

Description

Veteran photojournalist David Burnett was commissioned by the Gund Foundation to come to Cleveland document “the vitality and diversity of Cleveland’s rapidly growing cycling community” in 2014. He represented the range of cycling he found in the city from recreational cyclists to commuters, children to seniors, and people making a living from bike sales and repairs
A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts a large group of cyclists filling a wide street. Strong backlighting casts long, elongated shadows toward the foreground. Two men with light skin tones ride in opposite directions at the center. A circular manhole cover sits in the lower right. Many cyclists wear helmets and carry backpacks, stretching from edge to edge. Their shadows create a rhythmic, dark pattern across the sunlit pavement.
