Meet Roxy Erickson

Roxy Erickson is the photographer who shot the cover of Urban Velo #16. Originally from Madison, WI, Roxy lives and works in London. Already an established professional with clients such as Island, Loaded, The Guardian and Brooks, she’s recently started a new venture called Bicycle Images.

When she’s not behind the lens, Roxy can often be found on the polo court. She’s been playing hardcourt bike polo for almost four years, and has been a member of the London League since its inception. She says her team, Black Rebel Bike Polo Club, are the best dressed team in London (in large part because they’re sponsored by Chunk Clothing). Never content to just take part in things, Roxy was the director of the first ever European Hardcourt Bike Polo Championships in 2009.

Roxy’s favorite drink is a Tatanka, which is made with Zubrowka Vodka, apple juice, soda water, and a squeeze of lime. Roxy explains, “My father started drinking them in Russia and then a local bar here started making them. Fab.”

She says her favorite bike is the first one that was bought for her, which she describes as, “A red Holdsworth, with gorgeous wrap-around seat stays and it was tiny and perfect.” She goes on to say, “My 80’s Cougar is pretty awesome though! It’s a bit more flash than I intended but hey, it’s a great ride.”
