This exhibition of photographs by a number of authors (some even unknown) and from a number of locations, emphasizes the presence of bicycles in the towns of Macedonia.
The period of the 20th century is presented in these photographs, dating from 1907 (when the first known photograph of bicycles was taken by Milton Manaki) till 1999.

The exhibition is a result of several months long enthusiastic work by a group of citizens, that do not know each other, in the search of old photographs in relation to cycling in Macedonia.


We express our gratitude to:
State Archive of the Republic of Macedonia for their approval to use the photographs by Milton Manaki;
Nova Makedonija for their approval to dog through their photo-archives and to use those photographs;
Macedonian Center for Photography for their cooperation;
The citizens that allowed us to use their home photo collections:
Angele Grupce;
And
Ljupka Mostro Jovanoska.
