One of the most dangerous things you can do in this country is criticize team sports, people will rise up to destroy you in some communities, unlike individual sports like tennis or swimming. I'm certainly not saying china is bad for having so many bikers; it’s just a sublime irony. My being uncomfortable was with the fact that this country seems to be turning into a socialist nation, one step from communism, which are bad unto them selves but people in positions of power ALWAYS turn that political expression into fascism.

Love what you said about Lee's Big Bike! Bikes are spiritual tools--at once a connection to the physical and the mechanical, without the divorce between them that electricity and other power sources produce. I think Lee's bike is a sort of a god, a symbol of what every bike aspires to. This is not a god that makes me drop down on my knees and chant, I am not worth. It's a god of empowerment and a symbold of human creativity. I guess I think just because the Chinese bike doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing. Love what you said about Lee’s Big Bike!

Lee Stoetzel "Bike" is pure medicine; the wheels of life powered by your feet and legs, some sort of sacred extension of ones self. The bike as spiritual tool? The bike in the window that you can never ride, mocking the soulless. Bravo!
