New Zealand. France. Australia. It&#8217;s fascinating to me to watch the time trials, watch the bicycles and their riders in their caravans: motorcycle, bike, car following. Like the transit of a planet, the procession has a period, a rhythm, a time. Yet the photos reveal globe-spanning difference and subtle changes in expression. Joy, concentration, effort.<\/p>\n<p>Later on, I was delighted to find students from the <a href=\"http:\/\/rampages.us\/anthro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anthropology of the Crowd<\/a> course (part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/greatvcubikeracebook.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Great VCU Bike Race Book<\/a> project) sitting in the library and debriefing each other on their day. They were excited by the experience of learning while participating in an event within a course that required them to make a kind of festive contact with strangers from around the world. That&#8217;s an interesting set of circles, both intersecting and concentric. The world in Richmond, themselves in Richmond, citizens whose accents enacted journeys\u00a0from Broad Street sidewalks to lands far away.<\/p>\n<p>The students were joyful.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/yTnaJ1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/live.staticflickr.com\/734\/21584687936_20a4faf849.jpg?resize=500%2C282&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Great VCU Bike Race Book debrief 1\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Is this not study?
