The Apprentice in the Sun-Bicycling Bucharest Rainer Ganahl

From the castle of Ceausescu - the former, fallen (executed) dictator of Romania built himself a phantasy castle which is now called the Parlament Palace - via the "bolshoij prospect / Grand Boulevard" to a gigantic Apartment block at the other side of this axial street and back again towards this idyosyncratic megalo-construction built in the 1980s, I ride the bicycle in the middle of the one way lanes against traffic, against and with the sun without holding the streering wheel.

The outcome of this rather dangerous enterprise (Do I have a death wish? or am I just an ecolo-political romantic/ rule-disobeyer) is a video of 22 minutes made for the Biennial of Bucharest.

I believe you could have gotten your point across without cycling towards incoming traffic. If that's not a death wish, it's just retarded.

lots of mediocre people who think they now have big polluting cars and are too willing to use them and destroy the planet! Romania used to be a place where cars did not rule... too bad capitalism is now the new religion!!

Why does this video come up for the execution of Ceausecu when this has nothing to do with him?
