Rubieże is a documentary cycling performance tracing the administrative border of the city, as close as possible by bike. Each subsequent "Rubież" evolves from merely physically experiencing the distance to observing the perforated structure of the city boundary, whose openness stands in opposition to the increasingly tightly closed borders of bubbles and states. It appears as a border full of roads. The Rubież cycling act fits into the emancipatory ethos of the bicycle. It transforms the bureaucratized urban structure into a personal landscape. The bicycle, operating outside the logic of centralized transport and power, encourages grassroots observation, which is the foundation of "mapping" the borderlands. XI. Rubież Warszawy will be divided into two stages: eastern and western. Both are roughly equal, about 70 km each. The eastern is more gravel. The western has suburban tones. - Eastern Stage, gravel 🚴♂️ start 14 Dec, 9:30 AM Huta Warszawa, main gate > finish: PKP Falenica Distance: 74 km - Western Stage, suburban 🚴♂️ start 21 Dec, 9:30 AM Huta Warszawa, main gate > finish: PKP Falenica Distance: 80 km Pace: any. The route track will be shared the day before the stage. Everyone can ride at their own pace. #rubieżewarszawy #bordersfullofroads ATTENTION! Rubież takes place in open road traffic. Each participant is required to follow the traffic code rules and rides at their own risk. Helmet and front and rear lights are mandatory.
