Interesting stuff on the streets

This summer, I was riding before sunrise and came across a passed out drunk fella, snoozing on the trail. Not even my "mother of all bright headlights" could rouse him. Once I ascertained that he wasn't injured/dead, I pedaled on by. He was gone by the time I returned.

I've been trying to think of the most unusual things I've seen

I came across a lost load of chinese finger puzzles once.

Hundreds of pounds of frozen fish! from a truck crash - yes it was stinky and there was a haz-mat team there clearing it up.

I nearly ran over a porcupine, once. I don't know if he was scared, but it surprised me!

The oddest thing I ever found was a trail of CDs. For about a two-mile stretch there was a CD or two every twenty-thirty feet.

In my area I mostly see construction debris - nails, screws, bits of wire, random chunks of cement, wood shims, stuff like that - and glass bottles (or what's left of them). Also, for some reason, a lot of wire clothes hangers. What's that about?

I've seen a dead porcupine once, it was the topic while going up hill, was impressed by the length of those quills..and what could they do to a bike tire. I've seen the one shoe or glove here and there, a smashed tv, lots of vehicle tires, a door here and the out all the food wrappers/containers like LIsa SH stated, but todays ride takes the cake for odd things along the road. an old clothes iron! I've aquired a couple small bungees to put in my saddle pack, they might come in handy, and brought home some small tools for DH..

I did an organized ride this spring with a gentleman who collects stuff he finds on the road. He had an entire deck of cards, collected one at a time on different rides from different decks. It took him a number of years to complete the deck with all 52 cards.

I wonder if he rides by casinos or what. I've never seen a playing card on the road!
oh, yeah, televisions. I've seen at least two of them on bike rides! one was rather large (and broken up)

and zillions of aluminum cans that I tell myself I really should stop and pick up so I can recycle them!

The saddest road kill for me was a young fox. There are not many around here anymore so I felt really bad for him he was so pretty.
On a brighter note though I found a great bike light that was in exchange for the really nice tire pump that fell off my dh's bike one time (that person scored). And the funniest was a work glove that someone lost and another person put it finger's pointing up in the air so it looked like someone trying to get out of the ground (does that make since?).
