Found a lovely Zippo lighter once, all shiny and new it was.

The muppet had left it on top of his car when heading off on a journey...

I've done that before, with both a phone and a Garmin 310XT. The phone was no geat loss, thankfully I heard the GPS fall off about 4 miles down the road and grabbed it. That would have been a good score for a passing cyclist/runner!

I remember a thread like this from a few years ago. Someone said they found a stick with a condom on the end. That still chills my blood!

I found a bike abandoned in the middle of the road recently: An old but capable Ultegra-specced racer, complete with energy juice bottles. It looked like an aborted theft or abduction.

A little local detective work revealed that it had been insufficiently secured to the roof mount after a ride! 🙄

Last few months:

Hedge pron, published.
Loads of gay-man hedge pron, printed from the internet.
A pink vibrator*
Several dead pets in piles of fly-tipped rubbish

Jeez. Where do you ride? Canal Street? 😆

Not on a road but found a drone, military plane thing, on way out to St. Kilda about 7 years ago. Fished it out the sea and took it to the army base on Kilda. They said thanks. I thought it was at least worth a couple of pints myself to say thank you.

@tang, it wasn't a topeak alien at Sherwood Pines was it. If so it was mine, luckily I found my wallet that had fallen out as well when I forgot to zip up my backpack pocket. Several people must have passed it, it was about a foot from the centre of the singletrack. Sinking feeling followed by huge relief I tell ye! To be fair I hadn't realised I'd lost my multitool at the time.

Briko glasses, a few random tools and a set of decent binoculars in a case and in mint condition!

Off the bike I've found an empty purse, £20 note and a fair few pound coins. Weirdest thing was finding a 1960's purse when renovating a hotel. Was stuffed behind a cistern in the toilet block of the ballroom, we reckon someone had nicked it and emptied the cash out before stashing what was left!

I found some nearly new Nike hightops on the road.
Not my size so left them on the verge.

A large, purple double ended dildo, outside a pub in Rawtenstall last week.
A very dead parrot in Philips park in Whitefield.

A couple of inner tubes every Hit The North. Thanks!

Always stop and get a free water bottle or two at the bottom of the last rollercoaster bit at Llandegla.
