Bike

I have passed this bike a few times now and it is becoming steadily more distressed each time I see it.  It is a fairly large item to just leave in the street but I have no idea what the story is behind it, I suppose it will be taken away eventually.
I attended a funeral this morning for someone who died just before their 100th birthday.  He lived his life well and had a good send off, but we will miss him.
