Postcards For A Grand Tour

Kristina Lund and Johan

Kristina Lund and her son Johan’s designed this card. Johan calls this the "disobedient bicycle." I left this card outside of the bicycle chop where I rented my bike in Berlin. My bike was green and the guy who rented it to me sounded exactly like Kermit the Frog, so I called my bike Kermit. It was strange and a learning experience to see how people in my neighborhood of Neukolln reacted to my tourist bike. The area is rapidly gentrifying and so my tire was slashed the first night I rented the bike. After this, riding the bike around town made me feel too much like a tourist, so I only used it for really direct trips.
