shooting people (cycling)

“Oh, to just grip your handlebars and lay down to it, and go ripping and tearing through streets and road…”
– Jack London

(elsene and molenbeek, brussel, belgië)

Once a year, the streets of Brussel close to motorised traffic, well except for buses, taxis and people who think they know better.

And then, well then, the people take to the streets by cycle, scooter and board.
