Wheels
For visa reasons I won't be able to get my driver's license for another year. However, today I got myself a bike, my first new bike in fifteen years. Bikes have come a long way since then.
With the right gear, I will be able to ride my bike even during winter snowstorms.

'Visa' has become an umbrella term in my life covering all manner of hopes fraught with difficulty.

They make neoprene booties now that you can wear over your shoes, protecting and warming your feet when there's snow and the roads are salted.
*
The bike is beautiful and the city is small and I feel good about riding a bike again. And it will quadruple my speed of transit.
*
I need a name for my bike. A girl's name. I'm open to suggestions.

how about Roseann? ;)
i ended up here again?!?! What is the possiblies of that? o.o
Bessie Bike, after Bessie Smith. Or, Lady Day after Billie Holiday. Or Sappho after you-know-who. Or Bluey, or something equally Australian (maybe Curly when you get a bald tyre ...)
"'Visa' has become an umbrella term in my life covering all manner of hopes fraught with difficulty."
Ditto. Limbo is my new found land.
What about Susan B.? After Susan B. Anthony, the women's right activist that lived in Rochester in the late 1800s/early 1900s?
Thanks everybody for all the very good suggestions
for bike names. I think I will go with one of Andrew's
ideas - my new bike is called Lady Day. This gives my
expeditions with her added depth of character.
Now she & I are off to a yoga class in the chilly autumn wind.
P.S. Glad you know what I mean about visas Ivy.
