Things you have found whilst cycling

[upsidedown]

Two nice bikes in a subway in Stourbridge , called the police who said they would come and pick them up. No idea if they did as I had to go to catch my train.
A £5 note on the ground at the gate at work.
A Knog rear light in a Tesco car park.

A neighbour propped up at 45 degrees in a deep ditch, completely rat-arsed &

A fellow rider on a group ride once found me in a ditch. Not rat arsed, but upside down and still clinging to my bike after a freak 180 degree roll after a verge/tarmac height confusion moment when putting my foot down.

I was cycling up doing a bit of off roading on the MTB. I was in the hills just north of Estepona on the Costa Del Sol.

I came across these curious large metal boxes all positioned around a circle. They were very odd. They were big, trunk like chests they were. I was in the middle of nowhere overlooking the town and way off road. How the hell could they have got here?

So lifted the lid on one of them, and arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Dead body? No! Worse! Bee farm!! ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!!!! ( I have a fear of bees and wasps). Millions of them there were! urghh!

I found someones pet rabbit, chewing grass happily outside a train station. Didn't have any place to put it though which is a shame because the Mrs makes a lovely stew!

I was very nearly wiped out by a beer barrel coming out of a side road the other week.

There was a step hill to my left, and I happen to know there's a pub a good half mile up the hill, so I assume someone dropped the barrel during a delivery, and it just kept on rolling.

I would have stopped for a drink had I not been too full of adrenaline from missing it by a couple of inches

I used to have to walk past a petrol station on my way to the railway station and on 3 separate occasions i found 1 x £20 note and 2 x £10 notes that people had tossed out of their car windows screwed up in a receipt as rubbish. Always worth keeping your eyes peeled near pertrol stations.

Obikwelu is an Anambra name, isn't it?

Anyway, ha ha, it serves the idiots right for littering!

I did find a laptop bag once, minus laptop of course. Found some business cards inside so range the bloke who said it had been stolen from his car many months before, which explained why a family of slugs had taken up residence inside the bag. He wasn't interested in having it back so I left it on the steps of the local Police station.

Once found a dead cow on a ride

. Notified someone on the local parish council (was on common land so I had no idea who it belonged to) and when I took the route again a few days latter it has been moved.

I'll be quiet now.

 

[Night Train]

I'd stop for a penny if I saw it. Also any scrap metal I can pick up.

I saw a 20mm socket on a busy roundabout in Trafford Park last week. I went back for it.
Picked up 20p Wednesday night when my light reflected off it.

While walking a few months back I picked up a big ratchet operated cable cutter, I looked on Ebay and they sell for a few hundred quid.

You didn't do a Jeremey Clarkson and load it on your rack to take home for a barbeque then?
