What have you found while riding?

[Blue Hills]

They seem to be a common find.

Really?
What the hell's going on down these innocent lanes?

 

[Chromatic]

Such as?

A shoe with a foot still in it.

I was out biking once in the early 90's. We found a huge mobile phone, it had belonged to a hot air balloon company and dropped out of one of their team's land rovers who were chasing the ballon to pick it up when it landed. First thing I did was phone mum to report that I'd found it. After a while they drove past and it was returned to them. I hardly knew how to work the newfangled thing

Be careful what you wish for.
The police station may not be as close.

I'm surprised it's only a thousand. Well done though

There were also 913 alu cans and 114 glass bottles

I found a pub, went in, and blow me down found an unlimited supply of beer.

See plenty of pubs, rode past at least 6. All shut ! It will be a bonus to see one 'open'.

This morning I found a car stuck in a ditch with a grumpy driver stomping about.

Said car was on a bit of road that is closed to traffic but favoured by certain drivers as a way to avoid a couple of villages that are known for traffic jams so I wasn't very sympathetic.

Riding with club lads over Marsden Moore one rainy Saturday there was a giant flesh coloured dildo at the road side but nobody claimed it.

 

[Landsurfer]

A Myrescough anvil, 80kg, at the edge of the road.
Pushed it out of sight, rode home, got truck and grandson, retrieved it, pride of place in my forge ....
Cant imagine how it got there .... it had been there for a long while judging by the foliage and overgrowth ...

Mine all mine ...

I don't recall finding much over many years of mostly MTB but this year I have picked up a nice compact Topeak pump and a Castelli hi-vis gilet thing.

The other day whilst walking a track that I often cycle I picked up a nearly-new roll of dog poo bags. I left them in a visible place though as I have no dog and I hoped it might encourage someone else to use them.

During the summer I was out and found a broom head, one of the wide types, so I strapped it to my bike and took it home, meaning to buy a broom handle. A week or so later I was out and found a broom handle (about twenty miles from the broom head, so unlikely to be linked), took it home and now I have the Original Trigger's Broom! It's a really good width for sweeping the front.

Recently... Potatoes (quite a few, so free chips and roasties) and onions by the side of the verge. One of the bonuses of living out here.

Not to mention apples and walnuts I've spotted in the hedgerows. Umm, and three walnut saplings...

Again during the summer, I was cycling on the canal path going through the middle of Chester when I saw an Anker power bank and lead on the floor. Great I thought, that'll be handy, good make too and the lead would fit my phone, result!
Then I remembered a Deliveroo rider had crossed paths with me a hundred yards back and I guessed it must have been his, and his need was probably much greater than mine, so I picked it up and blasted back down the canal path and luckily (for him) I saw him as he was leaving the canal path but had to manoeuvre around a lock gate, which had slowed him down, so I could reunite him with it.

Between us we have the makings of a tasty meal!!
