Ian Paine,
Cyclist and Photographer.

I’m one of those crazy cyclists that loves cycling in the rain, provided I’m in the right clothes and can keep warm, then theres nothing I enjoy more. I get a kick out of people looking at me like I need my bumps feeling. I have the luxury of having two bikes, a mountain bike with mudguards and no suspension, that can be rode in all weathers anywhere and a road bike that only comes out when the sun shines.

Cycle Shots is a photographic project about people who cycle and their bikes. Whether they cycle to get to work, to break records (whether world or personal) or to get from A to C while having time to look at B.

The majority of the population has ridden a cycle at sometime in their lives probably when they where young, however those of us that still ride know that it is one of the best forms of transport ever invented.

With the support of Sustrans this project aims to give those cyclists a voice and allow them to communicate to ‘non cyclists’ the benefits of this healthy, environmentally friendly, and fun pastime.

Anyone who cycles and would like to have their picture taken and talk a little about why they love cycling please contact Ian Paine via e-mail at ian-paine@ntlworld.com or call 07967 625 936. Any organisations that would like to offer their support can also contact the same e-mail or click here to go to a more detailed breakdown of the project.
