Stan Engelbrecht is a Cape Town (South Africa) based photographer and publisher who has published numerous books, including 'Miss Beautiful' and the best-selling 'African Salad' ( www.dayonepublications.com ). He harbors a deep love for bicycles and has a keen interest in contemporary South African culture.
Nic Grobler's interest in bicycles and cycle culture has steadily built up over the last 7 years through much international travel accompanied by bicycle. Spending so much time away from home and immersed in different cultures has converged his interests and attention to things that universally help increase happiness, like chocolate and bicycles. Finding that the empowering use of bicycles, as seen in various other countries, has not been adopted enough in South Africa, he is keen on playing a part in the changing of bicycle culture closer to his home. Design and animation is what keeps him busy otherwise. He currently lives in Cape Town (South Africa).
Hi Kim!
Thanks for your comment about the post card, we've sent out most, some did not arrive and still sending some more. Contacting you through the private route now to get your address.
We are hard at work with the book and have enjoyed all the trips and people we've met so far tremendously. The fact that it has gone so well has probably lead us to do much more portraits than we originally thought we would do - giving us quite a challenge in selecting content for the book. There are probably only two more big trips and a few small in between ones left for us and we will be working on the design of the book in the next two months. We hope to launch the last kickstarter phase soon and have the book out by September.
Thanks for the check in!
Keep Pedalling
HI there guys.
I just realised i didn't receive my postcard when i did my $50 pledge. Not that it matters but I am curious.
But more important - i was wondering when the book will be launched.
Thanks
Kim
Hi Alastair! Thanks for your interest in Bicycle Portraits. Yes, we are still taking pre-orders through Paypal or via EFT so you are welcome to get in touch with us (stan@dayone.co.za) to pre-order a copy of the book! Hope to hear form you soon!

It seems closed - how can one still back if there are 0 seconds to go? Or has this boat sailed?
Well done guys.
Thanks Miguel!
