Brussels Express: cycling in Europe’s most congested city

Last week was held the Premiere at the Beursschouwburg of “Brussels Express“, a 20 min’ documentary about traffic, mobility and cycling in “Europe’s most congested city“, with only 4% of bikes on the street (when some Flemish towns have a rate up to 20-25 to 30%).

The portrait of 2 well known Brussel’s bike messenger, Karl-Heinz “Kardama” and Karel, is made through their everyday’s life. There’s also the point of view of a traffic specialist, a bike repair center manager, the former Kopenhagen Major, my friend John, bike shop owner.
It’s not a Mash SF nor a Macaframa-like movie, but images are as beautiful though.

As I said somewhere else:
This is part of my life. Those are friends, this is my city, those are the streets, the roads I’m cycling every single fucking day… This is our city, and we are all part of the traffic.
Just take 20 minutes to watch this, fullscreen, with a beer or a tea…
And think ’bout it…

Enjoy…

Temporary Datas

People use more and more their facebook page as a microblog, copy/ pasting several links a day (that’s not new), but since a few weeks, I see some of you creating big galleries with a lot of images saved from the web (in my opinion: well, get a tumblr, specially if you’re too lazy to give the link source…)

Yesterday, I had the idea to create a Temporary Data Page (see the Data link in the top menu?), with stuffs I’ve made, been thinking about, things I’ve seen or heard: a drawing, a picture, a song, an article, a link… but only available for a day or 2.

No archives, no access to the previous content, no RSS link (but you can of course bookmark the link), no “like” nor “repost” button.
Just go on the Data page and enjoy, if there is something…


Bianchi Campione Del Mondo 1973-74: New Life

More than a year and an half ago, I bought a vintage Bianchi road bike, which stayed at my office for months. It was a Campione Del Mondo 1973-74.
