Photographers Dan Sharp and Chris Milliman have lent their expertise to the Rapha Continental project for the past few years. Their respective styles of documentation have helped to shape and grow what we know to be the Continental experience. This month of August the gallery space within the Rapha Cycle Club NYC has been dedicated to these two photographers. To highlight this exceptional photographic experience we have printed a selection of Dan and Chris' photos. Contact Mike Spriggs (Mike.Spriggs@rapha.cc) at the Rapha Cycle Club NYC to acquire prints for your collection of cycling photography. The Flickr slideshow below contains images of all available prints.

The second of our trio of films made in conjunction with RSA takes inspiration from Irish racing legend Sean Kelly. Two Broad Arrows, a coming of age story, was written and directed by Adrian Moat who discusses his film below.

Vintage poster depicting the 1969 Giro. Not entirely sure where this originated from but the dotted lines around each rider/character suggest it was some kind of pull-out poster for children (or nostalgic road-racing fans). Felice Gimondi, riding for Bianchi, won the 52nd edition of the Corsa Rosa.
Reprints available at Rapha Cycle Club. Thanks to Kadir Guirey

The most beautiful location for a bicycle is directly under your sit bones. However, starting May 13, the best place to witness some of the more beautiful bicycles will be in New York's Museum of Arts and Design. Twenty-one hand-crafted inspirations from Sacha White (Vanilla Bicycles), Mike Flanigan (A.N.T.), Jeff Jones, Dario Pegoretti, Richard Sachs, and J. Peter Weigle will be on exhibition until mid-August.
