Un viaggio lento, polako polako, a scartamento ridotto. Una bicicletta e una sacca, la cui pesantezza non è un fardello ma l’occasione di essere agganciati alla terra attraversata per viverla, scoprirla. Da Zagabria a Sarajevo, a Belgrado, dalla Mitteleuropa verso Oriente tra vallate, cascate, pianure sconfinate, campi di grano, locande antiche, case rurali, ponti in pietra, vecchie in nero, chioschi di fragole e angurie, birra fresca, moschee, chiese, cimiteri turchi, campanili di ogni foggia. Le ruote della bicicletta scorrono lente sulla strada e tracciano una riga immaginaria e clandestina sull’asfalto, un tratto di penna fatto per unire, non per dividere. Popoli, religioni, lingue, alfabeti. Questo viaggio permette di conoscere il volto reale di quei territori e delle persone che li popolano, ascoltare voci, suoni, confessioni e ricordi, magari davanti a una bella rakija a fine giornata. “Lorenzo Gambetta è un pronipote di Bertarelli, Toti e Guareschi, ha viaggiato in bicicletta da Zagabria a Sarajevo e da Zagabria a Belgrado, poi ha trasformato le pedivelle in tasti, le pedalate in parole, i chilometri in pagine. Jugo-bike. Grazie”. (Marco Pastonesi) “Il libro di Lorenzo ha il merito di contribuire a farci sentire i Balcani ancora un po’ più vicini”. (Simone Benazzo)

What can we learn about collective action across Central and Eastern Europe by focusing on activism within urban spaces? This volume argues that the recent resurgence of urban grassroots mobilisation represents a new phase in the development of post-socialist civil societies and that these civil societies have significantly more vitality than is commonly perceived. The case studies here reflect the diversity and complexity of post-socialist urban movements, capturing also the extent to which the laboratory of urban politics is richly illustrative of the complex nexus of state-society-market relations within post-socialism. The grassroots campaigns and actions reflect the new social cleavages and increased polarisation as a consequence of neoliberal urbanisation and global integration, as well as the transformation of state power and authority in the region. Studying urban activism in Central and Eastern Europe is instructive for urban movements scholars generally, as it forces us to acknowledge the variety of forms that contention can take and the usefulness of embedding the study of urban movements within a larger understanding of civil society.

Estate del 1990. Un diciottenne di Karlovac, Croazia, ha appena terminato la scuola superiore. Passa il tempo tra musica punk e scazzottate. I genitori, preoccupati per il suo comportamento turbolento, decidono di mandarlo a lavorare in Germania. Un’esperienza intensa e formativa, interrotta però bruscamente dalla chiamata per il servizio militare. Un anno di fatiche, umiliazioni e violenza in una Jugoslavia che a dieci anni dalla morte di Tito non è più né unita né socialista. Durante il periodo di ferma la situazione precipita e scoppia il conflitto. Il ragazzo diserta per tornare nella sua città e arruolarsi a combattere nella polizia croata. Appena gli è possibile, torna in Germania e riesce facilmente a costruirsi una nuova vita, ma senza riuscire a integrarsi realmente. Torna allora in Croazia seguendo un destino di violenza che lo attrae come in un vortice. “Jugo-rock è sì un romanzo, ma è fatto di avvenimenti tali che lo spavento e la miseria umana della guerra jugoslava scaraventano il lettore nell’abisso dell’odio fratricida”. (Pierpaolo Capovilla)

“This compilation of tales conforms to a simple Freudian fact: You're as crazy as you thought, but in good company.” —Bicycling Magazine Okay, so some of us might be a bit too attached to our bicycles. Outsiders may say this is “inappropriate” or “unnatural.” But most cyclists will agree that passionate, all-consuming bicycle love is a fine and glorious thing. Bicycles take us places, physically and metaphysically, we cannot go without them. They move us; they make us dizzy and giddy, exhilarated and exhausted. All athletes love their sport, but cycling has a fetishistic side to it—the love of this deceptively simple machine that allows you to silently float, race, climb, glide over the earth. It brings the rush of wind to your ears and the surge of force through your body as you lean into a turn. It brings you to the fields and woods and sunshine, moving down the open road. Its beauty and charisma are undeniable. These sixty-two personal tales of the many varieties of bicycle love range from dreamy reminiscences of childhood bikes to powerful, sometimes insane adult attachments to mountain bikes, road bikes, and tandems. They all celebrate the freedom of cycling, the elegance of the machine, and the beauty of the act. They tell of the strange and wonderful things a bicycle has brought to life, the relationships that bloom or fade under the bicycle’s influence, and the unforgettable places bicycles have brought us. Funny, revealing, and intensely emotional, these stories show the secret inner life of every cyclist.

Pete Jordan, author of the wildly popular Dishwasher: One Man’s Quest to Wash Dishes in All Fifty States, is back with a memoir that tells the story of his love affair with Amsterdam, the city of bikes, all the while unfolding an unknown history of the city's cycling, from the craze of the 1890s, through the Nazi occupation, to the bike-centric culture adored by the world today Pete never planned to stay long in Amsterdam, just a semester. But he quickly falls in love with the city and soon his wife, Amy Joy, joins him. Together they explore every inch of their new home on two wheels, their rides a respite from the struggles that come with starting a new life in a new country. Weaving together personal anecdotes and details of the role that cycling has played throughout Dutch history, Pete Jordan’s In the City of Bikes: The Story of the Amsterdam Cyclist is a poignant and entertaining read.

A panoramic revisionist portrait of the nineteenth-century invention that is transforming the twenty-first-century world “Excellent . . . calls to mind Bill Bryson, John McPhee, Rebecca Solnit.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker The bicycle is a vestige of the Victorian era, seemingly at odds with our age of smartphones and ride-sharing apps and driverless cars. Yet we live on a bicycle planet. Across the world, more people travel by bicycle than any other form of transportation. Almost anyone can learn to ride a bike—and nearly everyone does. In Two Wheels Good, journalist and critic Jody Rosen reshapes our understanding of this ubiquitous machine, an ever-present force in humanity’s life and dream life—and a flash point in culture wars—for more than two hundred years. Combining history, reportage, travelogue, and memoir, Rosen’s book sweeps across centuries and around the globe, unfolding the bicycle’s saga from its invention in 1817 to its present-day renaissance as a “green machine,” an emblem of sustainability in a world afflicted by pandemic and climate change. Readers meet unforgettable characters: feminist rebels who steered bikes to the barricades in the 1890s, a prospector who pedaled across the frozen Yukon to join the Klondike gold rush, a Bhutanese king who races mountain bikes in the Himalayas, a cycle-rickshaw driver who navigates the seething streets of the world’s fastest-growing megacity, astronauts who ride a floating bicycle in zero gravity aboard the International Space Station. Two Wheels Good examines the bicycle’s past and peers into its future, challenging myths and clichés while uncovering cycling’s connection to colonial conquest and the gentrification of cities. But the book is also a love letter: a reflection on the sensual and spiritual pleasures of bike riding and an ode to an engineering marvel—a wondrous vehicle whose passenger is also its engine.
