A boy left his bike chained to a tree when he went away to war in 1914.



He never returned, 
leaving the tree no choice but to grow 
around the bike. 


Amazing Things in the World

και μιά άλλη εκδοχή-πληροφορία :

Lovely story, but it's been disproved. 
It was left by a boy in the 50's I believe, 
who forgot about it. 
Snopes ruins all our grandiose sentiments!






It is fun and traditional to add "fictional" details to true stories like this. 
Hollywood does it in every based-on-fact movie it produces. 
It makes the legend more interesting. 
I understand fact checking for consequential things, 
but it is just a bike in a tree people. 
Calm down. 
Regardless of the true nature of the abandoned bike or the fact that is obviously 
a much newer bike than 1914, the fact that the tree grew like that is no less amazing.
