Freedom is “Riding a bike in a way gives us back our child’s soul and restores both the ability to play and an awareness of the real. It is thus similar to a sort of refresher (like a booster vacation), but also to continuing education for learning again about freedom and clarity, and as a result, perhaps, about something that resembles happiness. Just the fact that riding a bike renders conceivable the dream of a utopian world in which life’s pleasures would be everyone’s priority, a world that would ensure respect for all, gives us reason to hope. A return to utopia, a return to what is real -- they are the same. Get on your bike to improve everyone’s life! Cycling is humanism.” — Marc Augé, In Praise of the Bicycle trans. T. Fagan (Reaktion Books, 2019)
