Funny Video about the ban of race radios

Who knew cyclists had such a sense of humor???

I'm not the only one!

See I'm not the only one who finds intersting things along the road/trail - well - interesting.

See the post titled "Sometimes it's good to leave the camera at home" in Speedgoat's news area.

I've often mentioned to friends about finding undergarments along the road. Then, jokingly, I say "They didn't fit so I left them there." Oh, to be young and carefree again. These days, I know how much I paid for my underwear, and being the frugal person that I am, I wouldn't consider just tossing them out the window. I know I'm probably missing the point here but c'mon, there's enough trash on the ground. Throw the underwear in the glove box and let your Mom wash them later.

Spring has sprung...and the roads are full of junk!

One of the funniest (oddest) beachcomber finds yet...
I didn't bring it home or take any pictures, but there were about eight of us who saw it...

I'm typing quietly so no one hears me, and snickering at the oddity of this find...

What was it...

A 2 foot long, double ended, sexual play toy. EEWWWW, there, I said it.

Now you don't find that along the roads of western PA very often.

Some more finds!!!

Just a few new findings lately. I have enjoyed the mild fall days. I like seeing the leaves and scenery as I "steal" a couple more rides before the real cold days come. I still keep my eyes open for anything interesting along the roadside.

First, last week I came alone a very nice little Swiss Army knife.






Then just today, I was out on another lunch ride, trying to clear my head, and found this:



I'm thinking someone dumped it after the Philies lost.

Go and enjoy some these nice days, before all your riding is inside or you have to bundle up.

The latest Beachcomber Report

I have come across a few interesting things along the roads of Westmoreland County this year. It's been about a year since I blogged about any findings. I have found a 25 ft Stanly tape measure, a Motoguzzi license plate, a Snap-On 10mm combo wrench, and a Coca-Cola bottle cap checker board.
But today's find tops all of those and anything Afib-rider (soon to be the former Afib-rider) has boasted about. While honing my skills in any effort to get ready for next week's LaTour de LaTonka, I came across this little beauty - a complete (both ends attached) heavy duty, right off the truck, ratcheting tie down strap.

I don't know what I'll use it for yet, but if I ever have to haul something, it will be strapped down well.

Beachcomber out.
