Cycle Style: Horst A. Friedrichs Paperback – Illustrated, 27 Feb. 2012

My wife spotted this book on a table in a café downtown Stockholm, Sweden.She hastily flicked through the pages and wrote me a text message. A lover of good photography and a keen bicyclist, I instantly knew I had to get this book. I've seen a lot of good pictures, but the ones captured in this book are simply Amazing! They're just something else. The book contains no text, just pictures, but the author says it all with them.The pictures make up for a tremendous mix of good style, looks, clothes, fantastic bikes and just beautiful human beings. No matter if you love classic garment or just fascinating bicycles of great variation, it gives you the best of both worlds.This IS what bicycling with style is all about. The definitive mix and blend, all through the lens of a camera in the hands of a very very skilled photographer.Needless to say, I love the book.

This book contains pictures of cyclists in colourful garb with their beautiful bicycles: it is compiled by a professional photographer. The photos are taken on the streets of London in interesting locations and communicate something of the character of the cyclists. It's candy for the eyes and will make you smile.

First class about the sub culture of urban bikesfor cyclist and i dare say none cyclist,I feature in the book that alone makes it worththe price, for a book that is clearly a labour of love. Well done Horst.great pictures great book.

This was purchased for my Son as he had requested this for his Birthday.(32nd!!) I opened it and it was not what I had expected, not knowing anything about this book at all. I had expected to see different bicycles, but on the contrary it is all about the different clothing styles that people wear whilst on their bikes. My Son is a keen cyclist so it was of great interest to him, and still is.My Son was every pleased with this book and enjoyed comparing the different clothing from cyclist to cyclist.Lovely photographs all the same and on the whole I think a very well put together book......So if my Son is happy then I am too!!Three stars from me but obviously it would be four had my Son been writing this review.

This book contains really well photographed portraits of cyclists from around London. However this book only captures a small selection of people and does not fully show cycling culture in London, it is more about three or four specific style groups.

Our cycling chum really loved this volume when we gave it him as a Christmas present.Just the thing for the chap or chapess who likes to be well turned out when they take to the road.

It's ok, if you just want it as a coffee table book for people to flick through ! ! !

Great product and good service

I bought this book as personal encouragement to continue my own style of dress while riding a bike.Many of the cyclists I see, have what would be called 'cycling clothes' on -- instead of just plain every-day clothing. Personal style gets lost in cookie-cutter clothing -- particularly the sort of neoprene short, loud jersey, and of course the safety helmut that many cyclists state-side wear.This book portrays the bicyclists as people who use the bike as a means to an end, and don't compromise personal style in the process.Very interesting - - very refreshing. Thoroughly enjoyed all the pictures.

It was a total success!!!! My friend really fell in love with this book. Very very beautiful and stilish pics!!!

Dieses Buch habe ich als Geschenk für meinen fahrradbegeisterten Mann gekauft. Der hat sich sehr darüber gefreut! Mir, die mir die entsprechende Fahrradkompetenz leider abgeht, haben die stylischen Fotos sehr gut gefallen. Meiner Meinung nach ist das Buch sehr gut als Geschenk für Fahrrad-Junkies geeignet, die sonst schon alles zum Thema haben bzw. nie mit einem Wunsch um die Ecke kommen.

一見スナップ風ですが（街頭で自然に撮影したようにみせている）実はどうもヤラセくさい。Fashion的にはよくできていて自転車の小物としての扱いもセンスがある。この点は他の同類の本よりも群を抜いてよくできています。脱帽ですかね。

This is a nice photo book with lots of inspiration. There's so many picture of vintage bicycles and I love all of them.
