Let this be a lesson as to where to lock your bike:

On Vashon Island (near Seattle), a tree has an unusual passenger. As the story goes, a boy went to war in 1914 and left his bike chained to a tree. The tree ate the bike and it remains to this day.

Cool, eh?

That is awesome! beats the random bikes laying outside of apartment buildings here in Chicago.
He forgot to lock his wheels!
I don't know, that looks pretty secure to me. No one's going to go through the trouble of stealing it.
Well if you do succeed in freeing this ride, you would likely be able to build a shelter for the bike out of the lumber. Don't be a tree mugger!
I've been meaning to give this tree a visit. I've a cousin who lives on Vashon Island.
A film about a bike that gets eaten by a tree? Groan.

If you google around you'll see that someone has removed the handlebars and front wheel since this picture was taken, supposedly saving them until someone approaches him for film rights.
This tree is awesome. I want one of my own.

Also, Berkeley Breathed is the awesome cartoonist of Bloom County and Outland. I feel old saying that I was an avid reader of his comic strips back in the day, but I was. Check him out http://www.berkeleybreathed.com/

LOL Heather!

Somebody named "Berkely Breathed" apparently wrote a book about it . . . I very likely have some of my facts jumbled . . .
