Nicholas Leong
Photography
Nicholas Leong was a Singapore-based commercial photographer, with clients all over the world. Starting as a fashion and editorial photographer, he moved on to corporate, industrial and finally, hotel photography.
A life-long fan of the Tour de France, he often wondered why he never saw Africans in the professional peloton. In 2006, unwilling to wait for someone else to do it, he purchased a ticket to Kenya to find out for himself if Kenyans could be world-class cyclists. In 2009, he co-founded the professional cycling team, Kenyan Riders. He quit his job in 2011 to manage the project and the team full-time.
Until the COVID-19 shut-down, he was the full-time general manager of the Kenyan Riders and photographer of the project.
In managing a team of African cyclists who are pioneers in the world of professional cycling, Nicholas has witnessed the many visible and invisible barriers they face. He hopes that the Thurrock Festival can be an avenue to expose more people to make this sport more inclusive.
