Back to the Bicycle


Let's face it. Everything went wrong the day he stopped riding his bicycle and bought that car.
But he realises that at the end. A new day dawns.

Cycling the Frame in Berlin


Back in 1988, a short film - part documentary part art-film - was made, called Cycling the Frame. It was about the Berlin Wall back when West Berlin was still isolated from the West. The film follows a young girl (Tilda Swinton) and her thoughts as she cycles around West Berlin alongside the 96 mile long, iconic, symbol of the cold war.

The above trailer is for the 2009 follow up to the original film. Tilda Swinton cycles once again along the same route, commenting on what she sees. Brilliant stuff.

Check out www.Invisible-Frame.com for more about these two works.

Dont Steal This Bike

Don't Steal Me
On this one, the owner was a little less humourous. She wrote: "Next time, don't touch my bicycle. If you do, I'll see red. Thanks."

Drizzle & Frizzle

It rains often, but seldom hard in Denmark. So many people just try to ignore the fact and whiz off through the drops.
