I found this picture of a bike that was chained to a tree by a young soldier going to fight in World War 1. He never returned.

In other words, the WW1 soldier story is not true.

Yup, this gets posted up from time to time. False story that sounds good.

It doesn't matter how it got there. It's still a cool photo of a bike embedded within a tree.
