Really enjoyed these photos. You have made bicycles look magical!
Really nice… I love the shot of the two kids with the old bike, (Kampong Chhnang, Cambodia)
Great pictures, but as a Derbyshire born-and-bred I have to dispute your caption on the snowy picture! Although the foreground maybe Yorkshire, the majority of the picture is clearly in the fantastic county of Derbyshire.
Quite correct Margaret – fixed now… ; )
Absolutely stunning and so so true! Love the pics and the sharing idea about two wheels being universal language across the world
Thanks Andrzej!
