I thought, ahhhh. . . what a load of bollix. . .There's NO way that bike was manufactured in, or around 1914. . . . A short search of the interwebbythigummy revealed a slightly different story.

The bike is in Vashon County, Washington State and is a local legend. Someone wrote a kid's book about a boy going of to war and fiction became fact.

 

The chap who put the bike there is still alive--he did so in 1954 (not 1914) when he was 9. He had been given the bike (a small kid's bike) as a donation when the family home burned down. When the family were back on their feet he dumped the unwanted (and embarassing for a nine year old) bike in the woods.. . . . .Since the twitter notoriety the bike looks like this

Hey, I like that - it'd keep the god-botherers away!

 

There might be a bit of disbelief though when they see the size of my dog... miniature Foxie.

Cnr West St and Northbourne Lane. I know its true, because Phil NEVER stretches the truth (much).

The two places exist, and the distances are reasonable, but I can't find the intersection using Google Maps.
