Cyclopolitanism

Cyclopolitan (example A)

June 12, 2012 by admin in Cyclopolitanism with 1 Comment

In a bid to clarify further the meaning of ‘cyclopolitan’, this video demonstrates one in action. Notice the ease in which this specimen hops on his bike – no need to change into cycling specific gear, no need to search for the legally required helmet. Then notice the way the townsfolk accomodate the normality of the cyclopolitan – no shaking of the head at his lid-less-ness or the fact that he is on his mobile phone, no mention of red lights or danger or mandating fluoro.

In short a cyclopolitan in his natural environment!
