Synopsis
The Bicycle as a Utopia
Cycling is not just a form of locomotion. Bike culture is in constant interaction with fashion, music, design, politics and urban planning. Cycling is a way of life and a form of protest. The Easy Rider Road Book shows the wild, subversive side of cycling and the powerful bond it can create between people. It aims to inspire utopian thinking and show where the bike can take us. The pioneers of this new bike culture can be found in subcultures across the globe.
In New York and Berlin, bike punks are building both fantastic and sustainable vehicles out of scrap metal and old bike frames. Riding a bike is a form of emancipation: When thousands of teenagers ride through London during BikeStormz, they are expressing their hope for a better future. Similarly, the Chilangos Lowbike Club’s Sunday rides through Mexico City are a symbol against violence. The bicycle is a promise of freedom. This book presents the bicycle as a vehicle for communal action that has the potential to change life in the city and, ultimately, the city itself.

gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Radfahren ist nicht nur eine Form der Fortbewegung. Radkultur steht in ständiger Wechselwirkung mit Mode, Musik, Design, Politik und Stadtplanung, ist Lebensart und Protest. Das »Easy Rider Road Book« zeigt die wilde, subversive Seite des Radfahrens und die starke Verbindung, die das Rad zwischen Menschen schaffen kann, will zum utopischen Mitdenken anregen und zeigen, wohin das Rad uns bringen kann. Die Fotos erzählen die Geschichten von Subkulturen und Gemeinschaften, die sich mit dem Rad die Welt erschließen: Von einem Festival der selbst gebauten Räder in New York und einer jugendlichen Fahrradbewegung, die per Wheelie London erobert, zu ehemaligen Gangmitgliedern in Mexiko-Stadt, die ihre Liebe zu extravaganten Rädern entdecken und Punks, die in Berlin auf Hochrädern bei einer Art Ritterturnier gegeneinander antreten. Das Buch präsentiert das Fahrrad als Vehikel gemeinschaftlichen Handelns, das das Potenzial hat, das Leben in der Stadt und am Ende sogar die Stadt selbst zu verändern. (Text engl.) 192 pp. Englisch.
