Bicycle Portraits: Everyday South Africans and Their Bicycles - by Stan Engelbrecht and Nic Grobler

he Yellow of a three-book photographic study of South Africans who rely on their bicycles for everyday transport.

Bicycle Portraits is a photographic study of South Africans who rely on their bicycles every day, revealing who rides, why they ride, and of course why so few South Africans choose the bicycle as a primary mode of transport. With more than 500 portraits compiled over three years and 10,000 cycled kilometres, the project culminates in three published volumes as a portrait of a nation through its commuter subculture uncovering all manner of societal, historical and cultural nuances never imagined.*
