Fahrradmod - the book

The story fits into the scooter scene of the 80s and 90s in Germany: Mods, skinheads, poppers - the British subculture also reaches the small town of Wesel, where Tobi grew up. He becomes a mod, takes on their fashionable style, listens to ska music and looks for recognition. The movement will not let go of him, but the transitions to other subcultures are fluid - and dangerous. With his autobiographical coming-of-age graphic novel, Tobi Dahmen creates a haunting picture of youth cultures and the dangers of going the wrong way.

Fahrradmod is a book about the nineties, growing up in a small town and friendship. And it's a book about the love of music:
