The Prisoner : bicycle is progress !!!

Where am I?
In the Village
What do you want?
Information
Whose side are you on?
That would be telling . . .
We want Information
You won't get it
By hook or by crook . . .
We will
Who are you?
The new Number Two
Who is Number One?
You are Number Six

I am not a number . . .
I'm a free man!

(Mocking laughter)

During an interview (New Video Magazine, 1985), Patrick McGoohan, the series creator and star revealed the bicycle's significance "...Progress! Its' an ironic symbol of progress. The penny farthing bicycle represents a simpler age. We live in an era where science is advancing so quickly, you don't even have time to learn about the latest innovations before something new arises." (Source)
