Catching cycling on television in North America is spotty at best, so fans of the sport are often limited to on-again, off-again freeride shows or ancient footage on specialty networks like the Canadian Extreme Sports.
Unlike in Europe, where bike racing is often shown on Eurosport, racing footage on this side of the pond is virtually non-existent. The one exception to that rule, of course, is the Outdoor Life Network with its Tour de France coverage every July, but even that is in question now that Lance is out of the picture.
Personally I find watching cycling motivating while I’m sweating it out on the trainer in the middle of winter, but with such limited coverage the only option I had was to watch road racing or mountain bike footage on DVD.

Compared with some of the other photographers featured on this site, Harookz is a relative newcomer. Despite the fact that he hasn’t been around the block x number of time, Harookz’ bike-related work is stunning and well worth the visit. Much of the work displayed on the site, the photographs are heavily saturated and very “gritty” and, while I’m not usually a fan of this type of shooting, Harookz pulls it off with aplomb.

Sterling Lorence’s name is bound to come up whenever someone’s talking about photography and mountain biking. Lorence has work published in most major industry magazines, and most of the big name advertisers have at least one piece shot by Lorence.
You can view a bunch of Lorence’s work at his website. While I’m not a huge fan of menus that disappear when you move off of them, Lorence’s site works as a display piece for his past work. Check it out, and be sure to watch the introductory animation a few times. Good stuff.
