Stan Engelbrecht and Nic Grobler are both bicycle enthusiasts and photographers who embarked on a project to photograph other cyclists as they ride bicycles in South Africa.
For our project we are looking at who rides bicycles, why they ride them, and if they love using bicycles as a primary method of transport. This site will be constantly updated as the project develops.
Each photograph online includes a story of who the person is and why they like to ride. The ultimate goal for these two is publishing these images and stories in a book.
