And what about the philosophy of cycling and fashion? On the bicycle the human body is erect and visible. In the car it is hidden by a metallic exoskeleton. The cyclist displays her body, her joy, her vulnerability. Dressing up the cyclist without the florescent yellow uniform is a form of cultural assertiveness, with a feminine note. It manages the body beyond the concerns of collision, impact and safety. It reclaims the street as a space for the interaction of human bodies. This is why some philosophers say that every cyclist is a woman, - Could they be right? Discuss.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for a glorious day. I enjoyed the ride so much and it's really a special place, which I hope to visit again. I am hoping to blog about it and I spotted somebody from Pepper Rafferty filming, so hopefully it will be online soon.
