Velorution is the assumption that bicycles can change our world.
When you cycle you exchange all the calories you ate for oil, you renounce to it and everything belongs to it.
When you cycle you really can say no to all the oil wars. When you cycle you don’t care anymore of it’s price: whether one litre costs 1, 2 or 5euros, you are not really involved in it.
When you cycle you are free to go from door to door without looking for parking and even if you drank too muck, it is not that bad..
When you cycle you are in the scene, in the world, in the city, on the road and you are not separated through slices of steel plastic and iron. Moreover you never have the feeling that you are occupying the road.
When you cycle, you know that you are not polluting, that you are not hurting anybody and the feeling of being innocent is such a great feeling. Innocent like a child and you really begin to behave like a child.
When you cycle, you are not making noises. That means that you can listen the world surrounding you and you are not bothering anybody, apart from those people moving around on four wheels who are supposed to be the owner of the road- Saying that roads do not belong just to cars, but to anybody who wants to move and there are lots of ways to move.
One of those is cycling.
When you cycle – and I really mean in the while-you do not need anything but yourself. No authority, no car, no money, no politicians, no bullshits, no..
When you cycle you have the feeling that a red light just means that you have to pay attention when you are crossing but it happens so rarely because there is always a green light in any point of the cross and when you cycle you can play as a vehicle as well as pedestrian. No parking street signals are the perfect place to lock your bike!
When you cycle you know that it’s exactly your business: if streets are clean, that’s your business; if air is clean, if your path is ugly, that’s all your business. When you cycle these is no “out there”/outside and there is no window you can throw your butt or empty box of cigarettes through.
When you cycle, you care.
Velorution is the assumption that when you cycle you change your point of view and it is like being there instead of watching TV and this being inside might explosion of awareness. Awareness that you are a part of the world outside, the one poisoned warmth, fast, dangerous, terrifying.
Velorution is the belief that if you change your world, you can change the world.
