Valentin Vodev's 'Vienna Bike' was featured in the 'More than a Bike' exhibition, also curated by Vodev. Its mission was to demonstrate the evolution of the bicycle and various methods of contemporary production. Bulgarians are a bit crazy for their bikes and feel a deep connection to life on wheels since the first local model, the 'Spider', made its debut. The 'More than a Bike' showcase quirkily demonstrated how the streets of Sofia and many other Balkan cities aim to be green on the road to bypassing antiquated Eastern Bloc stereotypes.
