The biker above is a piece of an image from a group of winners in a Creative Commons China Photo Content competition. A ceremony was held this week in the National Library in Beijing, as reported by Joi Ito who attended the event. The full image in which the biker appear is here.

I am struck by the symbolism in the full image of the Chinese biker crossing the bridge from isolation of recent decades into the global digital creative commons. That’s a beautiful thing.
