Abstract: A solution $psi$ to Schr"odinger's equation needs some degree of regularity in order to allow the construction of a Bohmian mechanics from the integral curves of the velocity field $$ In the case of one specific non-differentiable weak solution $Psi$ we show how Bohmian trajectories can be obtained for $Psi$ from the trajectories of a sequence $Ps{i}_{n}ightarrowPsi.$ (For any real $t$ the sequence $Ps{i}_{n}left(t,cdotight)$ converges strongly.) The limiting trajectories no longer need to be differentiable. This suggests a way how Bohmian mechanics might work for arbitrary initial vectors $Psi$ in the Hilbert space on which the Schr"{o}dinger evolution $\mathrm{\%}Psimapsto{e}^{-iht}Psi$ acts.
