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.
