Thompson rode a BSA Lightning 650, Lyon rode a Triumph TR6 and the bikers rode Harley Davidsons, but what really separated the reporters from their subjects was violence and the fear of violence. An interesting look into the counter-culture of the Chicago Outlaws Motorcycle Club in the 1950’s and 60’s.Put in context of the mid-sixties, Danny Lyon fills an empty chasm left between 'The Wild One' and 'Easy Rider', documenting an important epoch of American subculture.

Work on The Bikeriders began in earnest when, at the invitation of a mechanic repairing his Triumph, he attended a meeting of the Chicago Outlaws and joined them as a member.But once you do you are treated to these small stories of people living in a world that most of us will never encounter or engage with otherwise. It was announced in August 2022 that Nichols would also direct the film, with Jodie Comer, Austin Butler, and Tom Hardy being cast.
