Everyday People, Everyday Bicycles: South Africa

Via BikeHacks:

My name is Stan Engelbrecht. A friend and fellow bicycle enthusiast, Nic Grobler, and I recently started a project investigating South African bicycle culture, and the lack of cyclist commuters out there on our roads. We want to raise the funds to turn this project into a self-published full-color hard-cover photographic book ( similar to a previous book I’ve done, ‘African Salad’ – www.dayonepublications.com ). We’ll be shooting the entire project from our own bicycles while traveling around the country – this will enable us to meet everyday South Africans out there while they use their bicycles.

What gives a bicycle personality? What gives a neighbourhood its charm?

Jameson Avenue Impressions is a series of portraits on ceramic tile presenting the people and places of Parkdale to those who may not venture into the homes and shops of this area.

Many of the neighbourhood residents use bicycles daily. Parking can be a problem as many buildings often prohibit bicycle parking along their fenced front entrances. There are almost no post and ring racks to be found here either.
