Man of Steel – A Celebration of Dutch Cycling with 82 year old Albert.

A Man of Steel celebrates an 82-year-old’s remarkable daily cycling ritual, 100 km in Summer and 60 km in Winter. Powered by an iron will, a steel bike, and Dutch apple pie. Former Brigadier Albert vd Bosch plans his own routes, makes his own sandwiches, and even builds his own bikes, embodying the spirit of endurance cycling and the heritage of classic steel-frame bicycles.

We followed him across Dutch landscapes, riding along the dikes and circumnavigating the Lek and Waal rivers. These winter rides, captured amidst leaden December days offer a story of resilience, craftsmanship and the quiet beauty of long-distance riding. The resulting documentary cycling photography and fine art bike prints celebrate both the man and the miles he makes every day, rain, sleet or shine.
