Every month I post links to the most recent research into motorcycle culture, subcultures, clothing and identity, along with the biggest events in the motorcycling calendar. Here’s what caught my eye this month — a quiet December, with most of the substantive cultural-criticism activity converging on one book.
PetaPixel on Jack Lueders-Booth’s American Motorcycling Culture
A photographic-criticism feature on the Stanley Barker photobook first flagged here in September. Worth reading for the photo-essay framing rather than the bike-press angle — PetaPixel positions Lueders-Booth’s 1980-2000 archive alongside Danny Lyon’s Bikeriders lineage and Larry Clark’s documentary tradition.

That’s it for this month. If you’ve come across research I’ve missed, feel free to email me.
