'The book for all bicycle enthusiasts'

'"Smart Move“ presents us with the photographer Bernhard Angerer’s iconic mise-en-scène of 50 bicycles from the Embacher Collection: racing bikes with particularly subtle details; folding bikes with strikingly clever mechanisms or others that were quite spectacular failures; lovingly designed touring bikes (even if they are more satisfying to look at when parked than in use); track bicycles without brakes, reduced to pure speed; bikes that even at the best attempts defy categorization—hardly any matches the popular image of a normal bicycle.'

'Articles by Konrad Paul Liessmann, Dagmar Moser, Peter Noever, Kurt Palm, Martin Strubreiter and Michael Zappe describe the archetypal experience of riding a bike and show that bicycles do not only imply design and mechanics but are also loaded with emotions and memories. We read about „the first time“, about learning and ability, about pushing oneself to the limits and succeeding, about relish for cooperation, and about the stretches of landscapes we can become acquainted with.'

Must See!

'The world of the hellriders: men and motorbikes, speed and stunts, gasoline and adrenaline. Racing their antique bikes around the wood-panelled walls of a circular tower, the riders appear to defy gravity while the captivated audience peers down from above. MOTODROM stylishly captures the atmosphere in beautiful black-and-white imagery using energetic camerawork and pulsating sound. A dying fairground attraction portrayed in a thrilling homage at 5000 rpm.'

Motocompo

'The motocompo is a 'trunk bike' produced in the early 80s by Honda. Now something of a collectors item, the rugged two-wheeler features fold-away handle bars, which allow it to fit into the back of a hatchback car.'

This sweet rig started life as a 1978 SR500 and had been upgraded beyond recognition of what the usual custom SRs would be conceived It’s packed with custom Öhlins suspension front and back, a heavily breathed-upon 542cc motor, best part is the modified frame and a two piece-reverse cone silencer...ahead of the pack!

Isotype

'The International System Of TYpographic Picture Education was developed by the Viennese social scientist and philosopher Otto Neurath (1882-1945) as a method for visual statistics. Gerd Arntz was the designer tasked with making Isotype’s pictograms and visual signs. Eventually, Arntz designed around 4000 such signs, which symbolized keydata from industry, demographics, politics and economy. Otto Neurath saw that the proletariat, which until then had been virtually illiterate, were emancipating, stimulated by socialism. For their advancement, they needed knowledge of the world around them. This knowledge should not be shrined in opaque scientific language, but directly illustrated in straightforward images and a clear structure, also for people who could not, or hardly, read. Another outspoken goal of this method of visual statistics was to overcome barriers of language and culture, and to be universally understood. The pictograms designed by Arntz were systematically employed, in combination with stylized maps and diagrams. Neurath and Arntz made extensive collections of visual statistics in this manner, and their system became a world-wide emulated example of what we now term: infographics.'
