Noticed While Commuting by Bicycle in Delaware

Frank Warnock, our PR Chair of BikeDE, was commenting on all the bizarre things that cyclists see on the road while biking in Delaware.  Being a technogeek he seems to notice an inordinate number of abandoned cell phones smashed against the side of the road.

What I seem to find are mysteries.  What is it?  Why is it there?  And who on earth put it there?  Case in point.  Here are some clues.

Noted on Harmony Road near 273 abandoned by the curb.



My Transeo kept pulling to the right, wanting to go back and invite it home with us for dinner.

Beng a glass-half-full kind of person, I have decided that someone bought a real bike and has joined the growing ranks of Delaware leisure and commuter cyclists.  So now, their exercise bike, no longer needed, waits to be carted away to bike heaven.  Do you suppose there are bike lanes in heaven?  I wonder if there are handicapped trails for bikes who end up in heaven without all their parts.
