When you pedal a bike with your feet you can travel in different cities to see different sights.
When you make a bike with your hands you can create different styles to realise your imaginative ideas.
Gary Chan, a bike maker, was a worker at a plastic bag printing factory 10 years ago. An accidental brush with a cyclist who hurled expletives at him galvanised him into creating his own bike. Despite his lack of knowledge about bicycles, he managed to create his first bike with only his application and determination using makeshift tools and discarded material. This embarks him on an unusual and adventurous journey.
He furtively assembled his bike in the corridor of a factory building and test-ran it on the streets in the middle of the night. The falls and injuries he sustained did not deter him from devoting himself to creating his bike because the freedom for creativity and self-expression seems to keep growing. So are the styles of the bikes he made with his hands. There is a scooter bike, a Harley pedal bike, a reclining bike and a two-headed bike, to name a few. They are interesting and fun to ride on.
Making bikes was originally a kind of self-indulgence for Gary. But fate would have it that when he was trial-running his solar-powered tricycle on the road he was charged and fined. It made the news and his bikes became known. Artists and designers came knocking at his door to work with him. Gary’s creative journey has the potential to go further. He may even be able to turn it into a career, depending on his imagination and determination to explore.
一輛單車，用雙腳踏，可以穿梭不同城市，觀看不同的風景。
一輛單車，用雙手造，原來也可以變出不同的風格，實現天馬行空的意念。
單車創作家陳培基(Gary) 十年前只是一個普通的膠袋印刷工人，一次偶然在街上與單車友發生磨擦，一句粗口激發他去嘗試自製單車。即使對單車結構毫不認識，他努力用土炮的工具和廢棄的材料，終於創作出第一部自製單車，從此，他原本枯燥的人生展開不平凡的旅程。
他躲在工廈走廊默默裝嵌、深宵獨自在街上試車、跌倒受傷無數次……全情投入單車創作，皆因Gary在這裡找到愈來愈多發揮自我的空間，用廢物製作而成的作品也更層出不窮：踏板單車、哈利單車、斜躺單車、雙頭單車等等，全部玩味十足。
單車創作本來只是Gary孤芳自賞的興趣，不過世事難料，有一次Gary在街上試「太陽能電動三輪車」被檢控罰款，他的創作故事亦因此被傳媒報道出來，將作品公諸於世，更吸引了一些藝術家、設計師找他合作。Gary眼前的創作路似乎有機會走得更遠，甚至成為他的正職，但仍有待他繼續敢於想像、勇於探索。
