The Everyday Cyclist
With a passion for cycling, The Everyday Cyclist has been created by professional photographer Becky Mursell. These powerful portraits will be lining the railings of Osterley Park's lake in time to celebrate the West London Cycling Mela on 13 June.
- Booking not needed
- Free event
The Everyday Cyclist project is a celebration of London's diverse cycling community, created by professional photographer Becky Mursell.
It is a series of vibrant portraits and personal stories that aims to challenge your perception of who a cyclist is and who the spotlight should be shone on.
It celebrates those who create communities, lead groups and teach others. It celebrates those who learn to ride as an adult, who reclaim their independence and keep testing their own limits. It celebrates those who deliver goods, fix bikes, campaign for safer streets and even use cycles to save lives.
With the belief that changing the perception of cycling changes who feels welcome to ride, The Everyday Cyclist invites you to reconsider who you think is a 'cyclist' and who is pedalling some wheels around you.
