Ines Brunn
自新中国建立后，北京这座城市就享有“自行车王国”之称，给众多外来客人留下很深刻的印象。但随着我国经济飞速发展，人们的消费水平提高了，自行车渐渐退出了历史舞台。如今，北京市粗略统计有400多万辆汽车。这个现象给了城市交通造成了拥堵。 去年，IBM公布了该公司调查结果，北京已成为世界公路拥堵状况最严重的城市。市政府并非常重视这个问题，但是到现在它所落实的治堵措施还没有起到作用。 幸运的是，不仅仅是政府在考虑如何解决这个问题。一位叫Ines Brunn的德国自行车女艺术家想到的治堵方法很简单：让部分人先骑起来！Brunn从小就进行体操训练，是一个非常出色的运动员。然而，在她13岁时，她放弃了体操而把目光投向了自行车。随后，她将体操艺术与自行车结合一起，一边骑车一边做体操。这种奇妙的表演，一演就是20年。Brunn希望用这门艺术再度激发人们对自行车的兴趣。 2005年，一家美国电信设备制造商委派Brunn北京担任高层主管一职。但是从2009年，她离开电信行业，投身到自行车行业，先在北京的一条胡同开了全国第一家死飞自行车专卖店，还创办了中国首个死飞自行车爱好者俱乐部。Brunn发现虽然到目前为止中国高端自行车的市场还不成熟，可是它非常有潜力，她对此非常有信心。Brunn希望更多人能通过骑车的方式改善自己的生活方式，让身体更健康，同时也能为对都市路况和空气污染的起到一定作用。 2009年11月，Ines Brunn 在TEDx Beijing举办了讲座。2011年，她获得了安永会计师事务所最佳女性企业家奖的提名。
