RACING BIKE
The artwork “RACING BIKE” depicts the minimalist silhouette of a classic road bicycle, rendered with precision and detail in fine shades of blue against a monochrome background. With its slim tires, characteristic drop handlebars, and delicate frame triangle, it embodies speed, lightness, and athletic elegance. “RACING BIKE” is more than a technical illustration—it is a tribute to movement, freedom, and the aesthetic allure of iconic industrial design. “RACING BIKE” is part of the art series “Blue in a Square”, which includes 300+ artworks.
To reinvent the wheel.
Every era has its heroes. The road bike is one of them. Like the hi-fi system, it expressed a specific way of life, a vision of how you wanted to be seen. In the 1970s and ’80s, road bikes were considered a bit square. Expensive, yes – but square. It wasn’t easy to get young people excited about riding them. And yet, the road bike grew into a status symbol, an emblem of its time.
Today, bikes from that era have cult status. Certain models fetch absurd prices, even though the technology is outdated. But a Koga Miyata or a Bianchi stands for something, something special. Owning a classic means something. It sounds crazy, but a road bike is now cool. And a rarity is the crowning height of cool. The artwork “Rennrad” (Road Bike) captures precisely this paradox: that something can become a cult icon even if it was uncool in its day, because it embodies a specific set of emotions. It’s about what it brings back to us, what it signifies, and the feelings attached to it. In this way, “Rennrad” becomes a statement.
