For a second, it looks like a shadow. For another, as a reflection. The combination of black and white, blur, and the cropped head creates curiosity to know who is this person. I am not sure if the grains add to it or not. I love this picture.

Such a magical shot! It has such a dreamy feel to it . A bit haunting - still and cold, and yet- nostalgic and warm. the black and white here is great . I give it a 6!

Thanks, folks. Appresiate your kind attention and opinions. This BTW is original shot on Ilford Delta 400 right out of scanner in full frame - so grain is natural.

the grain adds a lot to the shot

Simply extraordinary, one of those photos I wish learn to do. 

Thanks. I think people see grain in different ways: oldtimers who're used to film looks see it as such and digital generation see it as compositional element created. I think, on this picture it adds simple nostalgic quality and almost primitive simplicity of irrelevant appeal. Thanks again for your kind attention.

By the way this reminds me a lot of Henri Cartier- Bresson's cycler:)

(-: I think some European photographers tend to see bicycle as romantic object.

The blur stirs.  I like the grain.  It's impressionistic in that it conveys something real relying on motion and emotion.

Sloppy tilt makes it almost look like dam cyclo's going to make it onece again but myoptic freze keep time stand and so it makes suspence and so we keep gaising.
