Roadside finds in 2017

[Banjo]

2017 was a Bit of a poor year for gutter scrounging.One pair of newish muddy fox gloves ,8 foot length of 6x1 (hid it and went back in car) nice flat screwdriver and a ratchet drive is about all I can recall.

Also two Audax brevet cards .Useless to anyone else but possibly priceless to owners both were reunited.

We need a new thread for 2018 finds.

I will pop out

I once found a pair of knickers, a VS thong for anyone interested (no I didn't keep them)

You realise it doesnt count as a cycling find
if the item is on someones washing line?

Dregs in a can of Skol;

and a cheapo rear light with a broken clip, which subsequently got zip tied to my pannier rack.

I found this in the road whilst riding through Carrington on Boxing
day. I think it will clean up nicely. It is about 8" long.

You forgot to mention the black hole from space in the background, nice!

Also once found a passport in the road

 

[Reynard]

A couple of stones or so of freshly-harvested maris piper tatties. Wouldn't have spotted them if I hadn't been on the bike. They'd tipped off a trailer where there's a big dip in the road.

*makes engine sound*

 

[pawl]

In the middle of the road a deep hole.Start of a new quarry?

 

[Globalti]

Not by the road but out mountain biking, a phone. We called the owner's mum and told her we were leaving it at The Robin Hood in Helmshore then we all lined up, pulled our shorts down, made a video of our bottoms and left the phone with the publican. Oh how we giggled!

apart from plenty of coins and notes, I've picked up a new packet of bed linen, a pair of pliers, various size sockets and a TomTom sat Nav fully working !)
