BICYCLE DRIVER is a fantasy of how a seemingly trivial incident triggers an increasingly bitter conflict between ’us’ and ’them’, the ’old’ and the ’new’, whereby the balance of power threatens to shift with potentially devastating repercussions for not only the individuals directly involved but for the entire community.
