Lower East Side Bike Drum Roll (2004-2005) is a video performance tribute to the residents on the Lower East Side, a historically influential community of activists, artists, musicians, performers, and writers. Lucas attached a snare drum and cymbal to the handlebar of her bicycle and rode through the neighborhoods of the Lower East Side, performing at intersections: a drum roll for the duration of each red light followed by a cymbal crash on green.
