The most wretched thing I've seen so far this week was a man riding a tandem. I had no camera with me, so this is my shot. Picture a typical street in central London, relatively empty of traffic and passersby: these are bokeh and the specifics are unimportant. Then see an antique, black bicycle-for-two with one lonely, figure hunched at the helm. Sometimes the bicycle wheel curves out, and takes him into the road a metre before he can correct it. And he just keeps going, painfully slow in his weary balancing, pressing down on those pedals with his feet as if it's the hardest thing in the world.
It made me sad. And I hadn't even got to thinking about the potential backstory...

That strikes me as very Felini-esque.
