I think she means one of those small ready-made ponds that people put in the back of their suburban landscapes.

Last night I found a perfectly fine ponytail holder while mountain biking. So I took it home and washed it with dish soap. I am always losing mine, so why pass up a good one?
I also pick up bike tubes on trail. Someone else was too lazy to carry it after a flat but I can patch it.

Along one of the routes I ride regularly, there is an abandoned vacuum cleaner about 6 feet off the road in a ditch.. it's been there forever - I can only think it must have fallen off someone's truck or something.

a child's rear bike seat carrier..by a construction site. Given the context, it truly looked strange today.

I saw an old computer monitor...almond colored, like the first computer monitor we ever had from Gateway Computers back in the late '80s. It was HUGE compared to what we have now. Why don't people use the recycle bins provided for electronics at the city dump? It gripes me so much to see stuff like that just pitched onto the side of the road!! I guess they think that a magical sinkhole will suck it away to never-never land!

My son found a pair of cheapie sunglasses on our very first ride out (I took him on sort of a test ride a couple of days ago to see if I thought he was ready to go out on the bike lanes). I took these pictures a couple of days later when we went on his first "long" ride; he's sporting his find.
