Red Bike

Red Bike

by Caridad Svich

Remember when you were eleven years old and had a bike, one that made you dream about a world bigger than the one in which you lived? This is that memory. Except it is now. What happens when we don’t know where we’re going? What happens when all we can think of is the bike? Embark on an unforgettable journey with RED BIKE by Caridad Svich, an examination of childhood dreams and the complexities of adulthood.
