Hermes on Two Wheels synopsis

Hermes on Two Wheels presents the dynamic world of a cyclist through a social lens, based on a five-year study of participants. Starting with the experiences of the apostles themselves and moving to describe the structural settings of these experiences, the research shows how correspondents operate within an economic political system that reduces the value of semi-skilled labor and strips people of emotional achievement.

Voluntary risk for reporters is a way to achieve this emotional achievement and earn a living, while their stylistic expressions bear fruit in the cultural race rather than money. Through their work, Messengers help rebuild and maintain community structures while building a vibrant, experienced and politicized subculture, which has become a new urban lover, a picture always under threat of polarization..
