Moscow is not Rio de Janeiro, but here too, from time to time, mass street festivals are held, and they are not boring at least. This spontaneous photo report (I just ended up in my favorite «Sokolniki» park in Moscow at that time) is about one of such “not boring” events: the “Historic bicycle race”, held on June 7, 2014.

Its main idea is to recreate the images of cyclists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Collectors presented models of the 1860 – 1980s of Russian and foreign production, in clothes and with accessories corresponding to a particular era. Anyone could take part, provided that there was a more or less antique two-wheeled vehicle and a willingness to come up with and realize the image of a cyclist from the past. Let’s see what they did together.



It’s funny, but as I read later in the press, this young man did not even have to figure out an image for himself – he plays the organ in the Catholic Cathedral and came in his usual everyday clothes.
