A group ride begins before anyone turns a pedal. At a familiar street corner, greetings, small adjustments, and a little waiting make room for the day ahead.

Nichole looks at the people who make room for sport in an ordinary week, from informal groups to the last conversation at the rail.
The stories
A running group looks different from its slower end. The spaces between people, unfinished conversations, and the moments when somebody waits become easier to see from there.
From the floor, a climbing wall can look almost graphic. Moving closer reveals the depth, texture, and changing human scale inside an arrangement of colored shapes.
Bicycles leaned together give a ride a temporary meeting place. A short stop, considered through unfinished conversations, ordinary street furniture, and the things people do while standing still.
The first minutes can disappear into small preparations. A short note on laces, misplaced keys, and the moment when getting ready finally becomes the beginning of an outing.
