Two Wheels and Enough
At the Designblok festival in the functionalist premises of the freight railway station Nákladové nádraží Žižkov in Prague, the Yedoo kick scooters gave space to a movement instead of their own presentation. “Two wheels and enough” is the motto of three people, who meet in a decommissioned railway carriage, ride through the streets of Žižkov at night and reclaim some of the urban space usurped by cars. They put up posters, publish a zine and repaint lines on roads into lanes for scooters. Transport curators. The grimy black-and-white style of a zine, a functional scooter for repainting lines, a poster with a warning black trace, which in some places covered the election campaign of the communist party, and an idealistic guerilla installation of a fictitious clubroom quietly confronting the flashy design of corporate showrooms were so realistic that even the organisers themselves appreciated their radicality only years later. “First the lines on roads. In reality it is a fight for the moves in your head. We still have our entire lives for being conservative and staying by the crash barrier,” declared the zine. Occupy Olšanka.
