It feels like a movie frame with the wider aspect ratio.

I like the line of the street moving diagonally through the image. I like that there's riders on the left third and more riders closer to the right third. I might like it cropped slightly more on the right to get rid of the bit of door/mirror of that car. I might also like it shot from a little lower where there isn't the one bit of burned out sky in the background.

Still, if you could frame a shot with a still camera like this, it could work very well with the additional resolution/clarity that comes from a bigger sensor/better lens.

Thanks for your comments, I guess I can crop it as suggested, I agree about resolution due to frame nature

To me, it looks like a snapshot of people on bikes. Was there some other quality you wanted to convey?

If you want it to look artistic, I'd suggest getting out of the habit of shooting at eye level. Get down lower to the ground, look for an interesting background or look for some of unique interaction with the cyclist and other things/people around them. Look for something to set your shots apart, to show that you have captured an idea in your mind, not just snapping what passes by.

Thanks for your comments, sometimes I do as you mention, most of the times I forgot it
I will keep in mind
