The Bourgeois Bicycle Caravan has landed!

In the Autumn of 2009, the trio of Jimmy Bodean, Harold Hobart Hellybutt & Del Da-Foster embarked on an expedition, along the western seaboard of france, by bicycle. With trailers brimming with the nessasities (surfyboards, box cameras, pencils and books of russian beat poetry) the trio went in search of the image perfect and the ultimate rambling tale.

This is the outcome…

do-5

What a weekend.

I had the amazing oppotunity to shoot the 2009 ‘Do Lectures’ this weekend in deepest west wales. It was an incredible event, with some incredible poeple attending, It certaintly made me more fired up than ever to get out and get on with my upcoming projects, despite the setbacks…

Money…

none

Time…

lots

ideas…

masses

So, anyway, this is a little call for help. We, myself and my good friend and execptuoately talented writer have a pretty special project coming up. It involves bicycles, the french western seaboard and surfboards. It’s codename…

The Bourgeios Bicycle Caravan

It involves peddling from here…the UK…down to france and down the west coast to the spanish border. With us we will tow laden trailers customised to carry our gear, surfboards, tents and cameras. We have time on our side masses of passion but very little money.

So this is where we need help…we need bikes…of the used variety that will take us on out journey. So if anyone out there has a second hand road/touring/hybrid/postman/anything… bike, that is needing a home and wanting an adventure, I need to hear from you. We have a little cash…so any condition is cool, if it’s broke, we can fix it.

muchus love. James
