Guided Tour: TOUR DU MONDE. Bike Stories

1.10.2013, 6.30pm–7.30pm

Including bicycle icons of the twentieth/twenty-first centuries from the EMBACHER-COLLECTION, the exhibition tells the story of this classic vehicle with all its design quality and variety and whose successive development in technology can be read as a history of innovation and design. Functional engineering design by Alex Moulton is juxtaposed to bicycle concepts by Richard Zapper and Marc Newson. In addition, biking experiences from the world’s megacities as told by David Byrne open up a new perspective on the bike as “perception machine”.
