"Records the biker culture in over 77 duotones." --Publishers Weekly. "French art photographer Philippe Vermes gives the subject a most dignified presentation...A gravity & seriousness usually absent from photographs of bikers." --Photo District News. Philippe Vermes saw a part of America behind the leather, black T-shirts, & tatoos of the bikers. His interest led him to Sturgis, South Dakota, for the annual Black Hills Motor Classic to capture that culture in photographs. There, he made black & white portraits of bikers from all walks of life who shared one common passion: the love of motorcycles. One of the portraits that Vermes made was of the late Malcolm S. Forbes, noted biker, balloonist, & publisher. Mr. Forbes was so impressed with the work that he authored a one page preface for the book. The body of work also impressed noted photo art critic, A.D. Coleman. Upon reviewing a preliminary selection of the photographs, Mr. Coleman volunteered to write the essay to accompany these photographs. This book is the result of that experience.

In 1947, 4,000 motorcycle hobbyists converged on Hollister, California. As images of dissolute bikers graced the pages of newspapers and magazines, the three-day gathering sparked the growth of a new subculture while also touching off national alarm. In the years that followed, the stereotypical leather-clad biker emerged in the American consciousness as a menace to law-abiding motorists and small towns. Yet a few short decades later, the motorcyclist, once menacing, became mainstream. To understand this shift, Randy D. McBee narrates the evolution of motorcycle culture since World War II. Along the way he examines the rebelliousness of early riders of the 1940s and 1950s, riders' increasing connection to violence and the counterculture in the 1960s and 1970s, the rich urban bikers of the 1990s and 2000s, and the factors that gave rise to a motorcycle rights movement. McBee's fascinating narrative of motorcycling's past and present reveals the biker as a crucial character in twentieth-century American life.

In 1968, a small and unassuming book of photographs featuring America's bikers was published. Little note was taken of its release, and it rather quietly disappeared. Today The Bikeriders is recognized as a seminal work of documentary photography by one of a new generation of photographers. This is a reissue of Lyon's long-out-of-print and much-sought-after first book, treasured both as a cult classic and a standard of photojournalism.

First published in 1968, The Bikeriders explores firsthand the stories and characters of the Chicago Outlaws Motorcycle Club. The journal-size title features original black-and-white photographs and transcribed interviews made from 1963 to 1967, when Danny Lyon was a member of the Outlaws gang. Authentic, personal, and uncompromising, Lyon's depiction of individuals on the outskirts of society offers a gritty yet humanistic view that subverts the commercialized image of Americana. Akin to the documentary style of 1960s-era New Journalism, made famous by writers such as Joan Didion, Hunter S. Thompson, and Tom Wolfe, Lyon's work, like theirs, demonstrates humanitarian interests, advocacy, and "saturation reporting." The importance of his work and our interest in the subject is reinforced by Lyon's immersion in his subject.
