The UCI Road World Championships didn’t exactly turn Richmond upside down, but it flipped us on our side for a good 10+ days, which was an interesting, odd, and sometimes exciting experience. Streets were closed for the cycling action, disrupting the city’s rhythm, but creating a new one for a few moments. Organizers and officials

For each day’s editorial review it was a struggle not to select almost every photo published by Hungry Eyes, always with a unique angle or perspective and daring to go beyond the typical photograph
It will be quiet, and less lively, and less urban… but oh, so much more convenient. People will shuttle from point A to point B and all those points in between will be lonely again.

We used one of Travis Ellison’s photos in most issues, as a story or in the sliders at the top of an issue. His photographs show incredible detail put us right into the action.
Another frequently featured photographer on this site, iOScycling provided us a varied topical stream of action, environment, and personas of the action at the UCI Road Championships.
To truly say you know someone is to say you’ve spent minutes,hours, days, weeks, and even years with someone. Given the time we had to interview people was only minutes, but you can learn a lot from these few moments. You get a sense of their true home. You get a sense of what they

My name is Madison Bratton, and the two goals I focused on throughout this course were sticking with a strict workout program, and eating healthy. As I have mentioned before, these have been goals that I have tried before but never together. After reading Willpower, I can honestly say that I feel like I understand […]

I was not present for the race itself, but I followed it in media while studying bike culture in my home town. I wanted to do a comparison of a few different view points of cycling, the UCI Road World Championships, and bike culture. I decided to attempt this in a few parts: I studied a few […]

I loved seeing how people from different countries dressed up to support their racers! Two of my favorites were the Norwegians who set up their “Norwegian Corner” on Broad and Belvidere and the Dutch couple who walked around sporting all orange! It was really fascinating to see how each country came to support. There were […]

One of the most popular locations for viewing the race was of course the Start and Finish line on Broad. Local businesses took this into their own hands to set up Pop-Up shops all along Broad St near 2nd-5th St. There was plenty of empty space available for vendors to promote and sell to the […]

This was the last photo I took for this course. I love the detail and how the cathedral is in the background. Then I caught one of the bikers taking the time to get water.

I’m actually super glad I stayed in Richmond over bike race week because it was such a cool experience and I had the opportunity to meet a bunch of cool people. Seriously, I met an Austrian team, who then added me on Facebook! Like, how cool is that?? I ended up meeting several people from […]

Since I commute to school, I was able to see the race from both inside and outside of the city. Surprisingly, there was a pretty big difference between the two. While a lot of people that call the city home seemed to be agitated by it, the people farther away seemed to be more excited. […]

I filmed the Women’s Elite Race as they rounded a corner on the cobbles at Libby Hill. I noticed how the riders gravitated towards the same point at the end of the curve, though they found different routes to get there. The tendency is to attack the hill sharply, so that in this case […]

The passenger crossing at Franklin and 23rd St, about 10 feet away from the start of the cobblestones of Libby Hill, quickly flooded the moment the last following car turned the top corner. The first surge of pedestrian energy was powerful – about 2/3 of the crowd was merely trying to get to the other […]
