Downtown lady

I stayed downtown last weekend at a friend's while looking for a new place to live down there, and stumbled upon this bike locked to a post. It was there when I was coming back late at night, and the next morning, it was still there.



Who is she? Did she chain it up and then head to a party somewhere, getting too drunk to hop on it and head home when it was all over? Does she live nearby and that's just where she parks it? Is she even four years old? Do her parents not suggest that she bring it in? Is she living in a studio apt alone, trying to make ends meet while she deals with the sense of freedom and fear that comes with legal emancipation from one's parents?
