Short films about bicycle culture

Tango Bikes Berlin Mitte
You can view and rate short films about bike culture at the "VELOBerlin Film Award 2015".  We liked Havana Bikes, "A brief insight into Cuban bicycle culture and the importance of bike mechanics in Havana as we come across both riders and repairmen."

Franco Volpi is no longer cycling...

At the age of 57 the Italian Franco Volpi died when he "was hit violently by a car". Yet again, unsustainable petrol-fueled mobility eradicates life and social capital.
Volpi was professor of History of Philosophy at the University of Padua, specialising in Martin Heidegger and Arthur Schopenhauer. He also translated and edited works of Gadamer, Carl Schmitt and Rosa Luxemburg and wrote in „La Repubblica“. There seems to be a lack of information in the Anglo MSM.
