With the Winter Olympics in full swing, we wanted to share some links to quirky Russian stories about bikes, trees, and communities. So, click the links below to see:
A chainsaw-powered bicycle;
Some BMX cyclists jumping off the roof of a 16-story building;
The tale of a family who survived in the Siberian wilderness for 40 years without contact with the outside world;
More about the Taiga Forest, the largest terrestrial biome on Earth, in which 29% of the world's trees live.
If you want to learn more about life in the Taiga, check out Werner Herzog's documentary Happy People: A Year in the Taiga. In the meantime, enjoy the games!
