Rickshaws & Riders - City Ride Leicester & An Indian Summer


After the Castle Classic pro-cycling race (see previous post here) sped through the city the public where invited to take to the traffic free streets for the HSBC UK CITY RIDE LEICESTER.
The event featured hundreds of people "reclaiming the streets" on bikes of all shapes and sizes and for the first time the cyclists where accompanied by decorated Rickshaws and Dhol drummers as part of An Indian Summer Festival this made for a vibrant and colorful parade as they moved through the city. My film Rickshaws and Riders aims to capture the colors and sounds of the event and give a idea of the exiting atmosphere as the streets of Leicester come alive with the sounds of South Asian Culture in the UK.
