long as it is an ecologist to repeat always the same old story, perhaps is also normal for a small 'annoy you. "Take the bike is the future of the planet, the only way to save the world from pollution." Yes, I agree, all able to speak. Especially if it is a student being nothing without commitment and money to take home. But what if you change to make a praise of the bicycle is one of the world's most famous anthropologist, Marc Augé. It 'a few weeks ago the release of the booklet, The Art of Cycling Bollati published by Basic Books. A book light and cheap (less than 70 pages for less than 10 €), just as the spirit of this fantastic half born in 800. And no wonder that it is precisely Marc Augé, the inventor of the term non-place (to define the places of modernity such as airports, stations, etc. ..) to talk about the bike as one of the few media today are able to give back life to our city smog depressed and stressed by traffic, the price of petrol and insurance.
will be for the book's release, it will be because spring is the best time to take the bike, but around the last time we see more and more people are making cars that defy the urban cyclists. Maybe you get just for one day for a week or a spring, but the fact of having tried it sign that many people are tired of slavery automobile.
Even in libraries, concerts and the phenomenon ether bike is moving "quickly." Increasingly these days is the output of the rate of post-war Curzio Malaparte on Coppi and Bartali, which is now translated and published in Italy by Adelphi. If this book brings to mind the magic of the Tour of Italy, finished this year in the suggestion the final time trial in Rome, even the band's tour recyclers Roman Tetes de Bois was presented on this occasion. This tour is born from the first novel written by the singer of this group, a novel called recycler or just talking about the magic of cycling and the rhythm defined ... "perfect. Neither too fast nor too slow. " Age, even sull'avanguardista site Zentropa appear dozens of bikes that swallow a car, shouting "Cycling will take more air" and recalling the scorn of the good life. Interesting site for the right of young people who are more prone to their formation at the speed of futurism.
that will become the figure of the urban cyclist goes a bit 'because everywhere feel free to live in their own way the city is now a need for many. If Paris at European level is the city that has best used the national bicycle rental, in Rome are the children of the best organized social movement of this alternative. For years, employed in many centers there are "Ciclofficina" where anyone can learn to repair and restore bicycles forgotten in the garage, and most popular auctions are held for those who want to buy a bike that was given back life. There are sites with technical advice on repair, and a manual of urban cyclist, useful for novices who have doubts. All this "pedal movement culminates with the" Ciemmona "which was held a few days ago in Rome: lots of bikes that are caught in traffic in the center without an established, becoming the protagonists of the streets. The same happens in Madrid and other cities in Europe.
Marc Augé says it well, "Cycling is so mythic, epic and utopian. (...) E 'in the middle of stories that link together the individual stories and myths shared by the community ... " And it's nice that just the centenary of the Tour, there is this turmoil cycling. Professional cyclists will not be all these cities, and are certainly less than the values \u200b\u200bof rivals in the car, but one thing is common to all cyclists in the world, of whatever race are: pain in the ass! Luigi Ganna he also said the mason-contractor of the first Tour winner.
But if this is the price of freedom we are willing to pay!
