During the high days of modernization fever, among the many
disorienting changes Germans experienced in the Weimar Republic was
an unprecedented mingling of consumption and identity:
increasingly, what one bought signaled who one was. Exemplary of
this volatile dynamic was the era's burgeoning motorcycle culture.
With automobiles largely a luxury of the upper classes, motorcycles
complexly symbolized masculinity and freedom, embodying a
widespread desire to embrace progress as well as profound anxieties
over the course of social transformation. Through its richly
textured account of the motorcycle as both icon and commodity, The
Devil's Wheels teases out the intricacies of gender and class in
the Weimar years.
