I really tried to make an extra effort in getting a story that matters, at least to me. I'm glad you noticed it, and as you write, it's simpler when you care about the subject in the first place. I think we all deserve those hand stitched handles, I wonder who makes and sells them though.....and our rainy days might cause a problem too.... :) Thank you, Julie!

I think your book is a perfect example of that. You've gone the step further than just including images and given us a real story along with them and it's fantastic to read, and gives us more to think about when we're looking at the photographs. And also makes me want to replace the handles on my bike for hand stitched leather ones :) It’s been said so many times before but I will repeat it here: better photography comes of working with a subject you personally care about.

I'm honestly surprised over the positive responses I have received, from you and from others. I have been a little bit hard on myself regarding the overall quality of my work, despite the fact that we didn't have the time to spend days on a single photograph. Your kind words makes me much more happier about this. Thanks! Thank you so much, Anita. I’m honestly surprised over the positive responses I have received, from you and from others.

Like others, I was particularly struck by the lovely subtle tones. Moreover, you did a wonderful job of endowing the bicycles with personality. I am not someone already drawn to bicyles, so this was a surprising treat. I found myself more and more engaged as I proceeded page to lovely page. Bravo!

I actually tried with toning in different colours, but that didn't turn out well at all. It looked fragmented, somehow. Paul, your words abou the Lensbaby could actually have come from myself. It is so easy to overdo with that lens, getting totally crazy effects that does not appeal to me the least. I tried to use the lens in a very modestly way, to not create those warp effects. Andreas, you could still come up with a book on bicycles, I would read it for certain. Actually, there seems to be more than mine, at least one that was uploaded before mine. I guess since I was not first, it's okay for you to come up with another one as well. ;) Chris, thanks for your kind words and that you mentioning the writing. That was where I had most anxiety, that it will not stand up to the rest of it. All, again, thanks a million! Cool that I inspired you to get bicycles, almost at least. :) Thank you all, you’re too kind! :)

Stunned, humbled, and impressed. I was all those at the same time. I love the b&w, I loved the subtle toning, I loved the shots, I loved the writing. And, best of all, it made me want to get myself a bike. I downloaded your book. Stunned, humbled, and impressed. I was all those at the same time.

You're the man! Ove, that's excellent work - and it makes me wonder if there is still merit in producing a bicycle book of my own :) WOW!!! You’re the man! Ove, that’s excellent work – and it makes me wonder if there is still merit in producing a bicycle book of my own :)

Heck! It made me want to go to the garage and dust off my bicycle ... almost. :-) A very creative use of the Lensbaby and I don't really care much for LB shots, but these I liked. Great job! Ove!

I like the concept and your choice of a clearly focused subject. Also, the choice of b&w helps keeping our attention on the main subject of your nice pictures. Congratulations !

You captured some beautiful b&w photos and I enjoyed viewing/reading your book very much. I agree about external requirements--at least it's true for me.
