    YAH – Twin Pedals

    You Are Here is back again, the free arts festival is running through the week and I’m covering what I have seen so far: I managed, somehow to wing my way into Twin Pedals. It was a concept drone piece based on the race between two cyclists, Hinault and LeMond, in the Tour de France.…
