The Black Label Bike Club is known as the first “outlaw bicycle club.” It was created in 1992 by Jacob Houle and Per Hanson in Minneapolis, Minnesota and has chapters nationwide. They are one of the main contributors to the rise of tall bike culture and organize jousting competitions. It is interesting to see this destructive, rebel culture revolving around such a non-threatening object: the bicycle.

About the photographer

Julie Glassberg

ulie Glassberg was born and raised in Paris, France. After studying graphic design for four years, she decided to make her passion for photography become her life and moved to New York City. Her interests are primarily based on the diversity of world cultures, subcultures, underground scenes as well as the misfits of society. Photography is like a passport to enter worlds that she would never be able to see otherwise. She regularly collaborates with The New York Times, and from late 2011 to 2015, the Metropolitan section of the paper assigns her, with staff reporter Corey Kilgannon, to photograph the portraits of the weekly column Character Study. After spending close to 7 years in New York, she lived in Tokyo, Japan for a year, where she met local artists and experimented more with photography and collaborations. In 2016, she was invited by Swatch for a 6 months residency program in Shanghai at the Swatch Art Peace Hotel. She lives in Paris at the moment.Her work has appeared in publications such as The New York Times, The New York Times Magazine, Le Monde, The International NYT, WSJ, ESPN mag, Neon mag, Stern View, L'Equipe mag, Polka, among others. She has been awarded a Lucie Scholarship Emerging Grant, a Getty Images Grant for Editorial Photography, a POYi Award of Excellence, an Art Directors Club Young Gun award, an IPA award and her first book was recently shortlisted by Paris Photo / Aperture.
