The Berlin Bike Wars are what happens when grown-up punks play around with old bicycles and welding machines. It’s a battle between crusts, fought every May atop their own creations at the Carnival of Subculture in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district. Twenty eight-year-old Sev is one of the co-founders of Bike Wars. The Dutchman is a professional welder, who has been lovingly spreading fear, terror, and bruises with his monster bike Pink Assassin for four consecutive years now. I talked to him about the myriad of ways in which Berlin’s punks on bikes try to destroy each other.
