Roadside Finds, strictly when cycling.

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

there is too much coincidence there!

We were variously cycling through Sweden, Norway & Finland... for most of those items but the ladies implements were in the main road (A49) just outside Weaverham. Clothing - well just pick your country really!

A little black cat, obviously been hit by a car in the gutter on a very busy road. It was dark and she was invisible to the cars. I picked up out the road expecting to be dead but gave a little wimper. So rang round everyone I know begging for a lift to an emergancy vets, knocked on some of the houses down the street and managed to borrow some towels.

Anyway long story shortened a lot she had fractured a number of bones in her skull and a leg but she survived!

The owners were very grateful she had actually been missing a month and I found her 20miles from where she lived.

A cow's head with a neat hole in the temple. I used to stop every day and stare at it for a while.

A laptop bag with some snails living inside and some business cards. I phoned the owner and he replied "Oh, that was stolen from my car months ago. I've replaced everything now."

A 2006 Specialized Roubaix in my size, dumped off a bridge in my road, in brand new condition. That was what got me into road riding, once the Police had given it back to me.

A rotting deer with the most spectacular antlers .
Also a well concealed ditch, that I ended up in to chest height. There were raspberries growing there and when I got home I had a purple bum with all the poor rasps I had squished .

Good find!

I'll have to try and use it for something. I was just riding past some pipeline pressure pump or something and there it was. No signs of painting around the pipeline or wells, I think it's unrelated.

If I didn't , the county gendarme who lives around the corner would have me before the sheriff before I could have my supper.

A brand spanking new boomerang on the verge at the side of the road. Inspected it and thought what use can I possibly have for that, threw it over the hedge and.................
