My point being that Comer was born to play Kathy in The Bikeriders. I heard a couple of people moan that she didn’t accurately capture the right American accent. I couldn’t give a fig about that. How everyone other than Johnny pays their bills or spends their days is not Nichols’ concern; he’s operating on the level of myth with this collection of types, from the soft-spoken Cal (Boyd Holbrook) and Brucie (Damon Herriman) to the vivid nonconformity with which Shannon, a master of unhinged idiosyncrasy, imbues pinko-hating Zipco. And as Funny Sonny, a California biker who didn’t expect to find kindred souls in Chicagoland, Norman Reedus contributes a spot-on touch of friendly mania. Kroll, Justin (October 4, 2022).

The Bikeriders will also play a headline gala at the BFI London Film Festival on October 5, with subsequent showings October 6 and 9. The 20th Century Studios title opens in U.S. theaters on December 1. This is the best cycling book that tells the story of how Italy's most loved sporting greats excelled in winning races, being one of the only riders to challenge the now disgraced Lance Armstrong, and sadly met his end. Milici, Lauren (November 9, 2022). "Tom Hardy is coming for David Attenborough's job and narrating a new documentary series". GamesRadar+ . Retrieved February 6, 2023.It's an old story now, but still one of the best cycling books to read as modern day cycling. Although, be warned, if you're new to the sport, or a young whippersnapper, this can be depressing reading. I didn't see "The Bikeriders" until years after it was published, when I ran across it in a college library. Often compared to Robert Franks' "The Americans" or Larry Clark's "Tulsa" for its' grit and immersion in the subject, Danny Lyon’s book of photography was sort of a companion piece to Hunter Thompson's "Hell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga" - firsthand New Journalism reporting about life on "The Edge", seemingly casual but with a whiff of latent violence in every breath, ready to catch a spark and ignite. Thompson rode a BSA Lightning 650, Lyon rode a Triumph TR6 and the bikers rode Harley Davidsons, but what really separated the reporters from their subjects was violence and the fear of violence. The confidence they enjoyed from the outsiders who allowed them access to an insular tribe was provisional. The threat of violence was an existential fact for the initiated, and the reporters’ option to step away to safety put them at an arm's length. They would never have as much skin in the game, but their provisional status membership in that tribe was highly valued by them. Based on extensive research, newspaper reports and official race documents, the story is interwoven with the author's own attempt to compete the route, although be warned, Tom Isitt is by far a better story teller than cyclist. He noted that Lyon dealt with that dilemma in his celebrated book “because he saw them for what they were because he was around them, and he often talked about how beautiful they were . But also, he would call them idiots sometimes and I think there’s a tension between the allure of this subculture and the reality of it.”
