Bike Eating Tree




On Vashon Island (near Seattle), there is an unusual sight. A tree which has literally eating a small bicycle. The story goes that in 1914 a boy went to war and left his bike tied to a tree. The tree the grew engulfing the bike and rasing it up.
Author Berkeley Breathed was so moved by the bike-in-a-tree that he used it for inspiration on his children's book Red Ranger Came Calling.







For a time the front wheel and handlebars were removed from the bike but have now been returned leaving it in good shape for visitors.
