The story behind the picture is false. But the bicycle is real. https://www.snopes.com/photos/natural/bicycle.asp

Sorry to ruin an emotional story but just stop for a while and look the aspect ratios of the photo and the height of the bike. Obviously someone had left either an toy bike or bike suitable for 4 year old kid hanging into tree's branch or otherwise we have here a natural wonder..

Check out snopes.com. This bike was accidentally (sort of) left in the woods in the 1950's, but definitely intentionally placed at this height, as trees do not "grow up" like this implies. New growth grows up from below, and around the preexisting trunk, but no part of the tree literally moves up. So, if the bike HAD been chained at the base of the tree, the bike would STILL be at the base of the tree, with the tree having grown around it.

That's not a bicycle from 1914, looks more 1950-1960 era. After over 100 years, there wouldn't still be a tire left. Very cool, though!

That is really cool. My husband is a tree surgeon by trade, and he has found all kinds of things INSIDE of trees when he cuts them down. But this one is really shocking and interesting. I really doubt the validity of the title of this photo though--I mean, HOW do we know a boy left his bike and went to war, yadda yadda yadda.... that looks like a kid's bike to me, and what kid goes to war? Maybe I am wrong about that--maybe bikes long ago just looked like little kids' bikes.... The distance from the front wheel to the handlebars just looks like it is a small bike, meant for a child, not a man-child who is going to war.......but no matter how or why this bike got here, it is a neat story to consider, and a very poignant and sad one at that. But perhaps, my good friends, there is a different story to it, one that isn't so sad.............. you just never know. Meanwhile, let me say that that front tire still looks pretty good!! I would like to know the location of this tree.

Kids sometimes faked their age to join the army. During WWII, the youngest person to get into the armed forces was 12 years old.

Trees will engulf things that are attached to them. Their bark will grow around the object. I've seen trees that have barbed wire in the middle of them.

Don't feel sad. The bike was not left by a kid going to war, it was left by Don Puz in the 50's..who just forgot that it was there. Nothing sad about it. These sites need to do research before reposting stuff like this, because this was proven not to be the real story YEARS ago.

I'm from White Rock, NM, which is very close to here. We used to call these "Indian ladders" or "Anasazi ladders." I liked to use them when we were hiking, but they are protected as artifacts in many places. Some of them go up very steep inclines and can be dangerous if you aren't accustomed to them. They are only for climbing. Some of the rock paths on straighter sections are worn down over a meter deep, but don't have individual footsteps. They are strangely narrow and hard to walk on, and they used to tell us that the Anasazi walked by keeping one foot in front all the time -- scooting, kind of. I recently talked with an expert who says this is nonsense -- the Anasazi probably had narrow frames.

In the town I grew up in, there was an add for a "biscuit company" on the side of one of the buildings downtown. I was informed that the term "biscuit" was slang for a prostitute at the time, and the location advertised (torn down a hundred years ago) was a brothel of some repute which the local authorities winked at (likely because they were frequent customers).

As they should. Unless your engine is designed for it, buying higher octane gas isn't a "treat" for your car, it's a waste at best and possibly damaging. Higher octane gas combusts at a higher temperature, so unless your engine is built to do that, you're just making it work harder.

Strange finish on the blade for a new knife. Bellingham is a nice place. If you live there, go see the races at Skagit Speedway. We used to drive up from Seattle a couple times a year.
