Looks like a light standard.

Probably got knocked over and he stole it to sell.

It needs some side spikes around the bicycle too.

I'm imagining a bicycle with spikes that lie flat and can be extended like porcupine quills 😁

I've always wondered about scrap metal places. "Guess you didn't need your bits of construction scaffolding or the stop sign anymore huh?"

When I went on twitter and reddit a few years ago, there was the hashtag #carryshitolympics and a subreddit with the same name.

This belongs in that category.

That hashtag is still active on Mastodon, featuring mostly cargo bikes carrying lots of shit.

Stolen to sell to the recycler no doubt.

Dude, are you jealous? I pick up sticks too but I've never found a free telephone pole! Finding a telephone pole just there on the street next to big piles of gravel and bags of concrete and the heavy machinery... Obviously someone just discarded it. You can get it recycled for a good $50 bucks!

Tell me you've never struggled before without telling me that you've never struggled before.

Like the other person said, they're likely taking it to a metal scrapyard for easy cash. You get 10Âą/lb for steel, $1.50/lb for aluminum, and $5/lb for copper. If you own a pickup truck, you can make a decent chunk of change in a day of simply driving through alleyways and backroads and picking up whatever bits of metal you find along the way.

whilst i appreciate your response and the time you’ve put into it, i assure you that this was purely a buttplug joke and not a real question.

I know it was a joke but it had a question in it that I knew the answer to, so I was compelled to reply.

I love seeing the crazy shit of other towns.

This is why I drive the backroads. The interstate is for people with no culture. I have seen so many crazy things going old 441.
