It is morning, the alarm clock announces that it is time to break away from the warm tangle of sheets: in the kitchen for a quick coffee, get dressed and take on the helmet to face Chicago who welcomed me, chaotic and busy but it fits me like a glove. I live by night dj and during the day I love getting lost among its streets aimlessly, I explore what the randomness gives me.
I bought an Italian bike, a Scatto Italiano, I love with his clean and truthful design, its contemporary line, the hot style but dry of the wooden handlebar I chose and the cold purity of the steel elements. A bike made of contrasts, between natural and industrial materials, between tradition and innovation, a bike made like me. I made more gaunt than I could in its elements because I am a “purist” of cycling, I wanted “brakeless”, just like how I am.
