Bici-libertad

Aquella bicicleta nació primero en su imaginación, su imaginación fue creada por los límites de experiencias, éstas, lastimosamente de la vida familiar. Un padre empleado de la construcción, una mamá ama de casa y par de hermanos que, para sus quince años de edad, resultan muy chicos para jugar.

El objeto propio es una herramienta de pertenencia, en él se recrean los gustos y las exigencias de lo deseado, los anhelos de los objetos fantaseados. Las pertenencias pueden poseernos, los objetos cobran vida de los creadores y tratan de estar ligados con otros objetos. El juguete se volvió importante, el objeto preciado se invistió de icono, el transporte particular se resolvió en objeto de poder.


 El poder de sentirse libre, de tomar a cualquier hora un rumbo desconocido a cualquier lugar; el espacio y el tiempo son relativos para el viaje, lo importante no es dónde ni a qué hora. La idea de oro es estar desplazándose, en movimiento, zafarse de un lugar. La bicicleta se traslada, como la existencia, sobre ruedas, girando como el mundo. 

Las noches han dado siempre espacios enormes para todas las aventuras posibles en la mente inquieta de un adolescente liberado. En ese escenario caben accidentes, experiencias, dolor, miedo, valentía, camaradería, soledades. El objeto bicicleta y la capacidad de su acompañante ataviado de ensueños serán únicamente los límites.

That bicycle was born first in his imagination, his imagination was created by the limits of experiences, these, unfortunately, of family life. A construction worker father, a stay-at-home mom and a pair of siblings who, for their fifteen years of age, are too young to play. The own object is a tool of belonging, in it the tastes and demands of what is desired are recreated, the yearnings of the fantasized objects. The belongings can possess us, the objects come to life from the creators and try to be linked with other objects. The toy became important, the precious object became an icon, the private transport became an object of power. The power to feel free, to take an unknown direction anywhere at any time; space and time are relative to the trip, the important thing is not where or at what time. The idea of ​​gold is to be moving, moving, getting away from a place. The bicycle moves, like existence, on wheels, turning like the world. The nights have always provided enormous spaces for all possible adventures in the restless mind of a liberated teenager. In that scenario there are accidents, experiences, pain, fear, courage, camaraderie, loneliness. The bicycle object and the capacity of its dreamlike companion will only be the limits.

El joven ciclista

El brillo en los ojos es una cualidad de inteligencia, de astucia, una propiedad que demuestra raciocinio. Una mirada brillante siempre demuestra temeridad, determinación, una mente dispuesta a lograr una meta. Un joven con autodeterminación se encuentra entre la rebeldía y la inexperiencia. El riesgo es constante, el peligro es cosa de todos los días, en el trabajo, el barrio, la familia. Solamente el peso de los años dejará en paz el arriesgado oficio de vivir al límite. La vejez es una joya aperlada de la vida para tener cansancio.  Pero eso no le sucederá al joven ciclista de pueblo, su vehículo era una bonita pieza pintada y armada al gusto. Rodada 20, el sillín más elevaddo que la media, manillar descuadrado, llanta gruesa atrás y delgada adelante. De tono frío el cuadro, de colores flameantes los rines, todo accesorio de color oscuro. Un medio día salió de mi vista, atravesó la calle principal como siempre, y sin saberlo, salió de la vida en dos ruedas, le arro...

Life under the bridge

Dawn returns in the morning, the hills do not exist, the shadow is caused by the twenty floors of the twenty buildings that are surrounding the street at dawn and dusk, the sun hardly exists either, only a couple of minutes at noon. Sidewalks on my street were narrow, the street was forked and had several dead ends, all we had was greenery, clean air and a lot of leisure time. Today, nowadays, there is no longer that of the old neighborhood. The walks are rare, the people do not know each other, the noise and dust prevail, the bicycle is a fossil of yesteryear. That is why I return from time to time a couple of times a year to that street and ride my bicycle, ring the bell and greet the neighbors, because the spirit does not change even if the body changes, things return to their initial state. And there I find myself in the middle of life and in the middle of the road, between the two sidewalks that move further and further away from each other along the length and width, I am a voice...

The good time

In the corners there are many stories, there is always an immense possibility of knowing the incredible adventures of a few or simple and flat gossip from the majority of people around. This is how I met a passing traveler, a one-day character, he was an older young man who for many years had been wandering around on his bicycle from here to there. He had come to our neighborhood over a summer, he was in the Atelier to repair his baika assembled from a wheel alignment. When the older young man, whom I do not remember his name at this time, talked about his pilgrim journeys, he did so with a certain conviction of memory, shame and pride. - I was never afraid of walking on the roads at night, - he said with that certainty of walking victorious - what I feel is an electric sensation of knowing what there is after a certain place and after another and so on forever. The family, well thank you, the slave labor, the money and the property, they are nothing to me. I am from the road, I am the...
