[Closed] Strangest thing you've seen while riding?

I once saw a forum member on a bike, riding!

there is a chap that practices with his Bag Pipes on Tunnel Hill..

I once saw Binners turn down a pint

Cannock cannot listed without mentioning the underwear/porn shrines complete with DIY swings 😯

I once saw a load of vikings with swords and axes walking through some woods (probably either Swinley or SH). I had it down as a fever dream until someone later told me it was some sort of reenactment thing.

first time a saw a full sized kangaroo on a trail was a good one, in Aus obviously.

once when I was younger me and a mate saw some guy under a railway bridge with his trousers round his waist faffing with his junk.

did see anything but I heard voices on windover hill on sdw, can feel right creepy up there

ive ridden into a sex den hidden in the forest, complete with transvestite and a very strong smell of disinfectant. i shit you not. we both looked at each other like "what the hell are you doing here" before i appologised and got the hell out of there.

it was somewhere in the million wood near kinver.

a pristine copy of 'transvestite today' on the road climb back up to the top of surreys famous BKB world class downhill trail.
i moved it (with gloved hands) to the middle of the queens highway and opened it to the first offensive double page photograph so that any passing motorist/cyclist/walker/horeserider/transvestite would instantly see the nature of the publication and not be offended.

riding the dunwich dynamo a few years ago our group took a wrong turn in some essex backwater, we passed upon a hostelry where 2 local essex females were wrestling each other and had fallen into a hedge. all you could see were 2 pairs or legs and 2 mini-skirts not covering their knickers, they were strangely motionless as one had the other in a headlock. i assume they had been there for some time and would no doubt need assistance to remove themselves from the hedge once they had settled their differences

seen them in the hills a fair bit, they get right pissed off when you say "excuse me, have you seen my mate? tall chap with a beard, dressed in a grey cloak?"

Some years back now, the White Stag at the FOD stood in the middle of the singletrack in front of me, some 30-40 yards away from me.

Both of stopped, frozen to the spot! Don't know who was more shocked him or me 😉

Still to see a wild boar there mind?

As a kid, cycling home late at night, from a night fishing trip, peeing down with rain, I cycled past a load of Druids all in white, in a large circle, stood in the middle of a field!

They did not say a word, as me and my mate cycled right through the middle of their group!

Could have been the local KKK, but we did not stop to ask questions? 😉

Once came across (!) an elderly couple - well into their 60's I would guess. As I approached he turned around and glued his face to the camera set up on a tripod leaving his wife looking very uncomfortable, embarrassed and wearing just a red bikini and see-thro plastic mac.

I departed as fast as I could.

Once came across a couple of students in fancy dress outfits making an arty farty film(no not that kind!!!)....very surreal

not weird as such (more awesome),but i saw a pine marten near devizes in wiltshire (near the cherhill monument).i was just stunned too see it tbh (i thought they were only in scotland/wales e.t.c).and yes it was a pine marten not a mink e.t.c (i made sure by checking lots of pine marten pics online just to make sure it was one,and i wasn't just dreaming it 😉

I would like to refute any scurrilous allegations made against me by nbt

You sir will be hearing from my lawyers!

Doing the SDW in a day last year we passed group of Druids emerging out of the early morning mist. Then later on we were going past a corn field and there were a (very nice) pair of female legs stuck up in the air. As we rode past a guy holding a camera looked up 😀 followed by a startled women. Surreal day really. Finished with getting the train back to London only for it to fill up with ladies and gents in ball gowns/DJ's (repectively) leaving Glynebourne.

some guy...with his trousers round his waist...

That reminds me once on the top of Frogart on the way back to Sheffield from the peaks I saw a huge dillywhacker just laying there on the road

A bloke dressed as a Daffodil riding at Afan.
Bloke dressed in a tutu rding at Afan.
And an escaped pet ferret that tried to attack me on a local night ride.

a huge dillywhacker

A what?

When running I found a 18lb ten pin bowling ball. On top of Grindslow Knoll, Kinder!

A guy practices a Massive Swiss horn on occasion on The Lickey Hills, oh and a dungeons and dragons lot complete with full suits of armour, swords bows etc

A dwarf, a wizard and a warrior type playing in the woods, also a woman giving some light hand relief to some gentleman near anglezarke 😀

An escaped Eagle owl at dusk.

Yiffers.

🙁

A what?

a d!ldo

Came across an old guy taking photo's of two naked ladies posing against an oak tree at the end of the Camber run in Wyre Forest, it is now know to us as the "titty" track.

Bloke dressed in a tutu rding at Afan.

Was it a pink one?

If so...I know who that was! (Well, one of two people...)

I once spotted a sapphic three way in action on a beach in Spain during a ride. Which was nice.

Last October on a night ride policeman getting a BJ off a policewoman in their patrol car!

Worst was a very dead bloke hanging from a tree (we called the police) never been able to ride down that section at night & the flowers there still give me the shivers 🙁

Thanks for clearing that up!

Just remembered riding down the quarries in Pindale, Hope. Usual route down the track, hop off right onto one of the flat levels to drop off my favourite descent back to the track, and I nearly rolled across a guy with his hand down his lady friend's pants.

I said 'nice day for it' and carried on, only to realise that I was on the wrong level. I turned round to get back to the track and went back past them. She was launching into a massive 'I told you so' rant and he was looking very sheepish.

first time a saw a full sized kangaroo on a trail was a good one, in Aus obviously

Hiking in the Peaks with my old man I saw a wallaby once. Surreal. He saw one leap over a wall to its death a few months before which explained why he'd not been surprised when the one came past us.

I regularly see an elderly lady walking her dog. She sits it up in a push chair and pushes it around.

A Zombie.

It was a scarecrow type thing made form haloween mask/cape etc and strung up on the trail. I could see it with the helmetlight from about a mile off the mask was painted in something reflective but asumed it was a sign or marker. Propperly cacked myself when I rounded the corner and almost went into it!

Not heleped by the hundreds of deer that live in those woods so even on a normal night there's thousands of eyes looking back at you in the periffery of your vision all lit up, sometimes I wish we only had a smart 12w light so didn't have to notice this stuff!

oh and came across 2 barrels of ale in the middle of a moor, no path even nearby.

the thought of the naked rambler still gives my mate the judders; we rounded a corner for a full view of his late middle aged-ness.

Llama's (as in Llama trekking) never fail to surpise.

The pwrn ride where we found (in sequence) a dillywhacker, various hedge-grumble and female undergarments.

The topless blonde DofE girl who'd obviously thought the trail was far enough off the SDW. My teenage son rue's missing that ride (although he'd probably have hurt/blinded himself)

I've seen a guy taking photos of a naked bird at the top of camber in the wyre too! A completely nude woman also ran across the trail in front of me and my mate in the million wood kinver- that place is just weird!

Got a postcode for the satnav ?

last weekend a red kite swooped down maybe 5 metres in front of me and plucked up a roadkill bunny. Awesome things!

All the pies- you're not coming out of there without at least 3 diseases

@ Woburn Sands - Bow Brickhill Woods (near the church car park), always seeing blokes there dressed up doing dungeons & dragons or some such silliness.
& They just cannot take a joke - not even a bad one shouted by a MTBer.

& what on earth makes them think they'd be able to catch me!

A black bear, honest. It was in Canada though, about 15kms from downtown Ottawa. I figured I was faster than my mate, and that was all that counted.

I was riding in a Welsh forest somewhere, havinng taken an hour+ or so to get there, rounded a corner and found....
A burger van, with queue of people... 😕
Turns out it was a rally happening...

Hmm, not strange, but easily the most distinctive thing I've seen was whilst riding slowly past a very recent accident and seeing a motorcyclist laid on the road, with pretty much everything above his bottom jaw just ... missing. 😯

Certainly a slow, careful, sobering ride thereafter.

Riding past a ploughed field with at least 20 buzzards walking around in was pretty strange tho' now that I think about it ...

Fingers crossed for some transexual wherewolf devil worshiping DIY-porn on my next ride tho' (even if I have to do my own). 😉

I saw this out of the corner of my eye in 2009 and had to ride back and take a photo.

I used to bike off road over alton barnes hill to and from work.
One beaut summer day on the way home, feeling hot and mellowed out, I`d just got to one of the higher points, following the rutted cow tracks and rounded a corner through a load of thick gorse bushes and came across the lovely sight of a completely naked sun bathing beauty!
Wasn`t sure if I was dreaming or what, but only just avoided going over the bars as I was kind of transfixed and got cross rutted.
Said hi as I managed to get it together and totally startled her.
Cool, not a dream.
Nice memories. 8)

A tall man in black wizards robes, with a crow on a leash in Dalby forest. A rave in the peak district, complete with acid house sound system. A giant snowman with a massive cock.

OCB - not so wierd when you know that worms are one of the buzzard's favourite food (if you hadnt already worked that out)

I saw a weasel kill a baby rabbit at the side of the road recently.

There seems like there is some great potential for a amateur pornographer/lord of the rings re-enactment crossover scenario. If anyone has seen a naked bird being chased by a load of goblins or wizards I will be quite jealous.

In fact, could there be a few quid in er arty films of that sort? Helmet cam footage would definitely be worth some money to youtube etc
