Bicycle Portraits

Photographs from South Africa by Stan Engelbrecht and Nic Grobler. A good story here. With many great pictures and great bikes. Keep up the good works. More bikes equals people power. In South Africa, and everywhere.


'I use it to run away and to go to school, I've had it for six years.'


'To go to school, that is what I use it for. It is a bit far to walk with my own feet.'


'This flag was given to me by another meneer with his bakkie, he said my bicycle is beautiful so he gave me this flag.'


‘Why do I cycle? I love a bicycle. If it breaks I fix it myself. And if I ride a lot I’ll get nice muscles - legs and all that.'


‘If I want to go somewhere and I want to go quickly, I ride my bike.'
