Więcej o książce
In recent years, the love for cycling has spread beyond Amsterdam and Copenhagen to other European cities. Cyclists, vibrant and creative, navigate urban landscapes, and their choice of bike reveals much about their identities. Berlin-based illustrator Jakob Hinrichs, who rides an old Dutch bike, has meticulously observed this phenomenon and crafted a unique typology of cyclists that appeals to both bike enthusiasts and casual readers. His illustrations depict 55 humorously characterized cyclist types, ranging from the trash cyclist to the speed queen and the beige brigade from the countryside. Each drawing sparks the imagination, while the accompanying descriptions serve as a sharp societal satire on modern life and cycling culture. This book is a celebration of the bicycle, featuring a foreword by Ingwar Perowanowitsch and a rediscovered text by Theodor Herzl, highlighting the enduring charm of cycling. An engaging exploration of urban cycling, it offers a delightful and auto-free reading experience.
