First published in 1968, and now back in print for the first time in ten years,?The Bikeriders?explores firsthand the stories and personalities of the Chicago Outlaws Motorcycle Club. This journal-size volume features original black-and-white photographs and transcribed interviews by Lyon, made from 1963 to 1967, when he 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 humane perspective that subverts more commercialized treatments of Americana. Akin to the documentary style of 1960s-era New Journalism made famous by writers such as Hunter S. Thompson, Joan Didion and Tom Wolfe, Lyon��s photography is saturation reporting at its finest.?The Bikeriders?is a touchstone publication of 1960s counterculture, crucially defining the vision of the outlaw biker as found in?Easy Rider?and countless other movies and photobooks.Danny Lyon
