The Bicycle Tree of Vashon Island
Bike stuck in time
This bicycle was lodged here many years ago, and the tree has since grown completely around the bike. Vandals recently took the handlebars and front wheel, but the frame and rear wheel is still firmly embedded. Vashon Island is in southern Puget Sound, just minutes by ferry from Seattle and Tacoma, Washington.
