I know this is a bit off topic, but what is the proper term for a group of unicyclists (besides "a rare sight")? A Circle of Cyclists? A Union of Uni's? A Circus of Cyclists?

Maybe not strange things, but things that I know for a fact that OTHERS have found on my commute route in the past week:
1) A faceplate for a Timex HRM watch 2) An early 90's vintage rear blinkie, with approx 50% of the mounting bracket still attached to it. |
I found a can opener yesterday. I could not get back to it though. Looked like it would have worked fine.

Strangest thing I ever found while riding was a dead body of a man.
Apparently he was running due to the jogging suit, suffered a heart attack and collapsed then fell down an embankment where cars could not see him from the road, but I could riding on the shoulder. He had been dead for several hours before I found him. I wasn't sure when I first saw him if he was dead so I approached off the bike and yelled at him but no response, so I touched him and he felt cold, not breathing, no pulse, and was staring blankly, so I followed my steps out so in case he was killed the scene would be undisturbed as much as possible and flagged a car down who called 911. |

I guess I didn't really find it myself... But I did happen upon the Police pulling a body out of the river one morning. I rolled buy just as they were starting to pull him out. I read the news when I got to work and it looks like I passed by 10-15 minutes after the 911 call came in.... 0_o

I found a roll of quarters on the ride home yesterday. Does anyone else pick up random change too? Or am I the only tightwad?

I found a $5 bill last week! I dodged cars to pick it up.

A completely nude woman, strolling down the street in the same direction that I was rolling, walking as if she was sure she had clothes on. It was early, so nearly no traffic out. Very odd.

Been using the same route for about 6 months now,
just noticed this last week on the lawn of a house I pass by: http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6130/...0eff7149_z.jpg GREENBIKE by 1nterceptor, on Flickr |
In the past two weeks, I've found the following...
1) A Crescent wrench. 2) A girls ID card (haven't been able to find her to give it back). 3) A HTC touchscreen phone - with a ran over battery. Gave me a new 4gb micro sd card though! 4) A left crank arm with a pedal still on it. (no sign of the right arm or other pedal lol). |
This morning - Side view mirror laying in the bike lane that had been ripped off a car.
I wish I knew the story behind how it got there (second hand of course). |
I found an iphone in the wet street yesterday, it had not been run over yet and a cute Kate Spade case had protected it well from the rain. I was rewarded $27 for delivering it to the owners husband. Everybody was happy and the sun came out for the first time in four days. :)

Attempted to collect; began moving on its own. Appears arcane; unsafe for collection. Leaving as found. |

Saw a squirrel using a drinking fountain today...
http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6152/...eeb912e983.jpg The bugger was thirsty... I watched him drink for over two minutes. |
Hahaha, great shot. Those are some pretty water fountains, too!

A pair of (ice) hockey goalie sticks in someone's garbage. Bungie'd 'em to the bike and proceeded carefully home; fortunately not too much further.

Since i first started reading this thread i've been looking and today i finally saw something. A Monarch Butterfly, haven't seen one in many years and i thought it was odd sitting on the edge of the road at this time of year but i didn't want to bother it.
P.S. Turns out it may be less odd my coworkers tell me they are thick this year. Apparently i don't pay attention so good. |
2 separate zip lock baggies with pb&j sandwiches in them this morning, someone must have left them on their roof and they came off in the curve, lol
|
After reading this, I am now sad that my morning commute is now in the dark (my return home tends to be the short route).
