Did you go home to get a trailer or were you able to stuff it into a saddlebag?

Something similar was dumped by a bus stop near here a few years ago.

Obviously not. If I had the post would have been in the, "I carried this on my bike." thread.

Or possibly the "My Hernia" forum

A BT 746 rotary telephone (GPO poo colour) lying at the side of the road with some fly-tipped mattress wreckage. If it hadn't been thoroughly rained on I might have gone back with sufficient luggage to recover it.

On Stowe Road, a climb I detest though maybe not quite so much in future:

Meaning of the X? The one with Wiggo's GeeAndTee in it?

Obviously? Bah! You have just destroyed my vision of you, cruising the lanes on your pink steed seeking out lost items to repurpose

slightly ot, but you all love it really, was driving down A2/M2 to Rochester, to work (refurbishing an old terraced house) when I spied a ROLL of loft insulation on the hard shoulder, so I pulled over and backed up, only to find there were 4 whole rolls

, saves me buying some, looked in wickes and 100mm is £20 a roll..

Not on my ride (I was walking), but someone else's I presume: a copy of "South East Mountainbiking, Ridgeway & Chilterns" by Nick Cotton. Wrapped in a clear plastic bag so largely dry and usable. Found on the bridleway which runs N-S through the Wormsley estate near Ibstone/Stokenchurch, one of my favourite rides.

I should probably mention last week's jerry-can of diesel. Better than the traditional pouring of it on the road, anyway.

Do you think it might have bounced off a rider's bike?

orienteer · « **Reply #314 on:** 28 November, 2016, 07:53:50 pm »

Most likely!

Bad luck, but wow, just imagine if they were real.

That should have been handed over to the dibble for forensics.

actually it was a sort of napkin thing, only printed on one side, and a sort of fluffy material.

I only noticed it because it was flashing. A most useful addition to the illuminations on one's velocipede, what!

Ah, barakta filched a few of those from jbex a while ago. They appear to be a Thing.

Royal mail courier bag.....outside the sorting office in Charlton.

Screwdriver, pozidrive, long.

As it was on the road next to a parked maintenance van, I opted to position it prominently on the driver-side windscreen wiper rather than swipe it.

Also found lying in the road: Important bits of my chain.

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #322 on:** 29 January, 2017, 11:50:53 am »

Does your chain have unimportant bits?

It's all relative, I suppose. In this case it was the PowerLink that was jettisoned (onto some PowerLink-coloured tarmac on approach to a zebra crossing), and I was rather pleased to track down all the bits rather than having to shorten anything or deploy the spare.

This will be because I cleaned (read: restored bendiness of) the chain the day before and had obviously neglected to put it back together properly.
