For me, exchange plays a very important role
in the emergence of communities in general.
and our community as well
You get inspiration from the outside
be it through the media or you meet someone
or people from outside move to Vienna
with new ideas in their pockets.
2007 was a very crucial year
where things set in motion
2007, the first Bicycle Film Festival (BFF) in Vienna
We discovered the Bicycle Film Festival at first on the internet
and we wanted that too
This was the big moment of inspiration to us
In autumn of 2007, at the Top Kino
we organized the first Bicycle Film Festival Vienna
a large group of people organized this together
a large group of people organized this together
We had the Cinema exclusively
We organized TALL BIKE JOUSTINGS on the street in front
we planed ALLEYCATs
we had parties
for a lot of people who saw these things for the first time there,
for them it was the same experience like we had in Milano [BFF 2006]
for them it was the same experience like we had in Milano [BFF 2006]
awesome, that's the way it should be, we want that
From my point of view, the people who met there
they were creative anyway
they all wanted something similar
but they also had this input from all the movies they saw
The Networking, and the enthusiasm of people created new ideas
and later on this ideas became reality
Pure energy was there
One heard that someone from the EKH organized a Critical Mass
They gathered and cycled the streets of Vienna
I was immediately
Hooked
because I thought, that's something that motivates people
I heard the first time about Critical Mass
through different political connections
As with so much
we with heavy pedals were also not the first to sell cargo bikes in Austria
Same with the Critical Mass.
In the late 80s beginning 90s
there was the "Radfahren am Freitag", short RAF
They also had this monthly gatherings
organized smaller and bigger demonstrations
Critical Mass
The original idea was to reach the point of critical mass
to reclaim the space, normally occupied by cars
The Critical Mass would not exist today
if not the people in the beginning invested a lot
We've had police checks
They closed all access roads to the meeting point
stopped every cyclist
checked the bicycle safety
handed out penalties and written police reports
If we had not intervened
build up pressure
and started the conversation with the police
this would have been history before it even began
Without,
Without, civil disobedience, nothing changes
Someone said to me, tomorrow is a Critical Mass
I asked -
Critical Mass what is that?
Its just cycling, cycling with lots of people
that´s why it´s awesome
and reclaiming spaces normally occupied by cars
I got to experience the city of Vienna
without cars
It was, very impressive
The spirit
collectively taking over the space
being on the street and just cycle
There were so many people
I just met in one day
Although they are all different kind cyclists
Sporty cyclists, daily commuters
Bike messengers
So many different people
But at a Critical Mass they find together for 1-2 hours
and cycle together
Meeting new people created for me
and i guess also for others
this feeling, where we noticed, together we can be bigger
together we can achieve more
This collective experience
kicked something in motion
that would otherwise would not have existed
The Critical Mass as network was important
but as important are spaces like the Bike Kitchen
At the Bicycle Film Festival 2007 got talked, for the first time, about Bike Kitchens
maybe inspired by a film
The concept of Bike Kitchens as a open community workshop
with the benefit of creating a home for an entire community
We could still repair it, right ?
- Yeah, we could.
Just weld
or buy another one. It doesn´t cost the earth
No, no, hold on ! That´s not the issue!
Wait a minute ...
Let´s give it a quick weld. -Yeah!
If we´re gonna do it, then we do it properly.
There was lot going on in the beginning
a lot of knowledge sharing and learning
Learning as a collective was an very important aspect
An aspect of empowerment
They´re still loose. Brilliant !
And that ... is stuck like a limpet now !
Yay ! - Victory !
The Bike Kitchen was and still is so much more than a regular workshop
It is a place where you meet
where we spend time together
where of course bikes are still important
but also the anti-capitalist approach
The enthusiasm for bikes
together with the idea to give bikes more space
creates a foundation for people who are creative
and are driven by the will to make a difference
Out of this emerges energy and the different ideas
and this ideas, because we where many, interconnect
One thing led to another
and than there is something that was not there before
ARE YOU ALL CRAZY?
