Artwork

The work is painted onto a wall at the side of a beauty salon in Nottingham. It depicts a young girl hula-hooping with a bicycle tire, next to a bicycle that is missing its rear wheel, attached to a nearby signpost.[2]

As with many Banksy artworks, it was vandalised a couple of days after the artist posted it on his Instagram. On 22 November 2020, the bicycle that made up part of the work had been removed from the signpost.[3] By the next day, it had been replaced with a different bicycle, without a rear wheel, in the same location.[4]
