Big journey for a small bike

This is my grandmother’s bicycle. She died unexpectately several years ago. Having neither a driver’s license nor the opportunity to travel she stayed in her village and its nearer surroundings her entire lifetime. She used this bike to run errands. I took it with me when I moved from Germany to Chicago several weeks ago. It is now on my balcony and reminds me of Granny everyday. I can’t help but wonder what she would say if she knew her bike took a long travel to Chicago, let alone her granddaughter..Participation by Natascha G.
