Bikes and economy
In the 70’s a Romanian economist Nicholas Georgescu Roegen, threw the basics on the bioeconomic theory. He showed with mathematical methods, the impossibility of infinite growth in a finite world. He then proposed a model based on decreasment of production; to save everyone the Pil has to go below zero.
The research into the deconstruction of bikes, as the project of fixed bikes, goes perfectly with that kind of position.

The key to everything is the radical change in life; go towards a life base on human relations, get beyond the consumer model, live a life in a sober and happy society, reduce our needs to a minimum. A zen life where the intensity of life compensates the lack of goods.
