South African Bicycle Portraits

25May10

Two bicycle commuters, Stan Engelbrecht and Nic Grobler, from South Africa started a project only earlier this year titled Bicycle Portraits. However, they already have a stunning set of photographs and are starting to build a picture of who the people are that ride bicycles in South Africa and answer the question of why so few people choose a bicycle as a form of transport. They will be compiling this into what looks set to be a fantastic photographic book, which will tell an eye opening story into the South African (bicycle) culture. There is also a nice little video on vimeo which is worth watching too.
