[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;36093414]Why is it so important that she's lesbian?[/QUOTE] So that people don't get confused when it later says 'her wife spots it' in the title.
[QUOTE=Pocket Medic;36095504]So that people don't get confused when it later says 'her wife spots it' in the title.[/QUOTE] Of course the violent side of me prefers to think that the news provider in question is trying to stir up controversy through use of the word, mainly because America seems to be so up in arms about gay pride lately.

[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;36093414]Why is it so important that she's lesbian?[/QUOTE] It's the Daily Mail, considering the average reader they probably did it so they can get more ad revenue.
[QUOTE=valkery;36093494]I'm surprised one object stayed in the same location in a stream for so long.[/QUOTE] It's a bike lying in a stream, it's probably pretty heavy and the streams probably pretty weak, plus there would be all the sediment that's built up against the bike and held it in place.
[QUOTE=DireAvenger;36095518]Of course the violent side of me prefers to think that the news provider in question is trying to stir up controversy through use of the word, mainly because America seems to be so up in arms about gay pride lately.[/QUOTE] Well, you never know. Your explanation is probably right in this situation.
[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;36093493]It reminds me of that one guy who left his bike chained to a tree before going to war, and when he came back the tree had grown around it[/QUOTE] isnt it this? [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/l0fye.jpg[/img_thumb] The guy didn't actually ever come back, for obvious reasons.
Wait, the bike was brand new when she lost it, but she still describes it like being reunited with a long lost friend? And she described the brand new bike she lost in great enough detail (not to mention brought it up enough) to her wife that her wife knew it was hers just by looking at it? I mean, if you just lost it a week ago then I can understand, but four decades ago? She must get attached to things [i]quick[/i].
Seriously what the fuck why are there stock images of people holding up bikes Do people seriously BUY these images because there is some random shit that these companies make.

This is very similar the the article I read a while ago called "Black man's bike is found by his height challenged Asian wife"
Daily Mail: See, we're sensitive and non judgemental, check out this fluff piece about a lesbian we made on a slow news day

[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;36093414]Why is it so important that she's lesbian?[/QUOTE] Came in just to ask that.
ITT stock photos of people holding up bikes [IMG]http://image1.masterfile.com/em_w/01/11/33/621-01113338w.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/63695/63695,1260330698,2/stock-photo-silhouette-of-person-holding-up-bike-with-blue-sky-and-clouds-42476329.jpg[/IMG]
[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;36093414]Why is it so important that she's lesbian?[/QUOTE] Normally I'd agree, but it does say that her wife found it, so it kinda makes sense.
[QUOTE=Dwarfy77;36098613]Normally I'd agree, but it does say that her wife found it, so it kinda makes sense.[/QUOTE] Right, like someone said earlier in the thread, it's probably just to clear up any confusion. [QUOTE=Araknid;36095569]isnt it this? [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/l0fye.jpg[/img_thumb] The guy didn't actually ever come back, for obvious reasons.[/QUOTE] That is one awesome story and picture. Man, I really wanna do something like that now and come back to visit it years later.
