The Bicycle Effect
The bicycle is not just a vehicle used to transport ourselves, to exercise one's body or to obtain joy. It's a device which allows us to attain a much wealthier mental state than one would think possible. Once we ride it, it's possible to experience a feeling close to that achieved by meditation. The movements of the legs, the energy which arises through the body, the cadence of our breathing and the floating attention on what's happening around us and in our mind all create a similar state to the one we achieve when we sit crossed-legged, with our eyes closed, allowing our thoughts to drift simply and naturally. Zen calls it mindfulness.

Como era de esperar, la idea no prosperó, y en cambio sus editores españoles le pidieron un libro sobre el punk, una movida que por esos días disparaba en Inglaterra sus primeros salivazos corrosivos de contracultura. Tenía nada más que treinta días para escribirlo. Con su misión a cuestas, Juan Carlos Kreimer salió a la calle a documentar el encargo con la cintura de un corresponsal de guerra y la pluma borrosa de un beatink aporteñad...

Más allá del bien y del punk
"Aunque muchos de ustedes tengan familia y trabajen muchas horas por semana y hayan acotado ciertas costumbres, en cada uno de ustedes hay alguien que sigue siendo aquel punk. La buena noticia que vengo a traerles es que ese alguien de ustedes, que en su momento avergonzó a sus familias, compañeros de colegio y confrontó a la sociedad, ese chico raro al que muchas veces les costó sostener, y al que muchas veces debieron sacar de la cana, es el mejor de ustedes." Así presenta Juan Carlos Kreimer este fructífero ida y vuelta con Pil, pionero del punk argentino con la banda Los Violadores, en el que transitan la historia del movimiento en el país y en el mundo desde sus comienzos hasta l...
