| Summary: | "Subtitled 'a tour through the wild and inspiring side of bicycle culture,' Easy Rider Road Book offers an illustrated guide to cycling's subversive potential and the powerful bonds it can create among people. Bike culture, in constant interaction with fashion, music, design, politics and urban planning, can inspire radical and utopian thinking. The pioneers of this new bike culture can be found in subcultures across the globe. In New York and Berlin, bike punks are building fantastic and sustainable vehicles out of scrap metal and old bike frames. 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 of opposition to violence. 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"-- |
