Reading a little further, though, we began to wonder just what kind of art: paintings of it come with slogans like 'Scaling the summit with the Motherland in your heart,' and 'Camping far out in the wilderness forges a revolutionary heart.' We don't know if that makes this a propaganda piece, but we do know that riding a bike fitted with a camper, in the city, is plenty revolutionary. After that, it doesn't really matter where you go.

Awesome. My good friend Scott is looking for a suitable bike as he pedals across Germany tracing the rarely followed tracks of a second-rate, little known, German historian from the 17th century. I will make him aware of this forthwith.
