We have all seen this photograph before but may of never seen the story.

have seen this on the family farm you nail things to a tree and the tree takes it in as it grows
signs, fence wire, boards but never a bike I would think the bike would have fell over before
it became part of the tree. things like that mess up a chain saw
 
When a tree grows through something laying on the ground it does not lift it into the air as it grows. The bike was put in a fork by someone at that height and the tree grew around it. Gary

Wasn't the Berkley Breathed they mentioned in the article the author of the "Bloom County" cartoons, with Bill the Cat and Opus the penguin?
Must be! There was a thread about this bike a couple weeks ago, with a ridiculous story about a soldier who went off to WW1 and left his bike... :roll: -Adam
 
I had a tree with a picket fence grown into it like that in a house I used to live in. Was pretty cool I kept it painted and added extra fence on each side of the tree. Kinda looked like the tree grew up out of nowhere. lol
