Well this was unexpected. I pulled over at this random spot in the desert to take pictures, and I see a blue glint in a bush —

I look closer and it’s a bike —

With this message scribbled on it: “June 18, 2026: I will return for this bike, leave it here!”

Now I’m preoccupied by two things: whether the mystery bike owner is ever going to return; and that their request has apparently been respected all these months. I too shall abide!
