The bicycle is a marvel: no other machine has brought individuals more freedom and has also been a catalyst for socio-political revolutions. For suffragettes, it was a symbol of emancipation; for racing cyclist and bicycle courier Gino Bartali, it was a means of resistance during the Second World War; and for many of us today, it remains an inexpensive way to expand our radius of action. For Bernhard Flieher, his relationship with the bicycle since childhood feels like a great love that opens the door to the world. The author takes us on a fast-paced ride, and with every sentence and every kilometre, a great truth emerges: the faster the bike moves, the easier it is to maintain balance.
