Things you have found whilst cycling

[pepecat]

Gees, where do you lot cycle?? I've never found a thing when i've been out!

Used to pick up those car England flags people buy before big football tournaments. Kids were young so hung them all round the back garden, got over 60.
Oh, and that roads are hard when falling off

I once found a piece of a Crud RR MK2 mudguard, it could've been mine originally come to think of it as I once lost a piece like it. Other than that just plenty of rubbish and general roadkill.

The only things I have found are a semi-decent rear light and a burnt out Clio haha

 

[BluesDave]

I never find anything when I'm out cycling except for the odd nut or bolt lying on the road but then I do live in London.

I spotted a wheel trim for a Citroen C5 last weekend. As it happens I own a C5 with a missing wheel trim.

I checked on eBay and they're selling for £15-20!

On a commute home one evening I stopped at the side of a busy road to put my rear light on.

As I got back on the bike and and was about to pedal off, I saw a £5 note. Lovely.

Like others, also see loads of nuts & Bolts. I rode past some new & expensive looking screws for about 4 or 5 mornings - they were scatterred next to the kerb along a 5-metre stretch of road. I don't need them I kept telling myself. Then, something needed fixing in the house and those screws would have been ideal. So, on the next commute, I picked them all up and put them in my pannier.

I've found that I get wet if it rains.

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.

I find bus stops are good spots for finding money.
Picked up a coin the other day that turned out to be a 2pence piece. Looked up and saw a couple of youths looking at me so i covered myself by saying pound coin nice and walked off.

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

donkey kong

 

[peelywally]

I'm with you. I am amazed and envious of some of the fantastic finds of some people here.

I did find some chewing gum once, but the flavour had long gone.

its simple really , we finders never watch the road ahead
