Description

This children's bicycle was dredged up from a ditch. Rusted and unusable, the bicycle stood in a planter against a lamppost waiting to be picked up by the municipal service. How does a children's bicycle end up in the water of a ditch? The Netherlands is a country known for its bicycle as a means of transport from A to B. The majority of the inhabitants do have a bicycle. The landscape is mostly flat and the distances are often short. Children often get their first bicycles at a young age. Children are not yet aware of malicious people. They often leave their bicycles unattended during their game and before they know it someone else takes their bicycle in an unguarded moment and dumps it when it is no longer needed or sells the bicycle on. Leaving behind a sad child, who wonders where the bicycle has gone.
