Came across this bike in Miami last week. It's owner had leaned the bike against her Banyan Tree. A Banyan tree expands by dropping "prop" roots to support its broad limbs. Over time the roots merge with the trunk. It only took a few weeks for the roots to start to reach through the frame. After a month or two it would have required a saw to extract the bike. Now, far all intents, it is impossible to separate the bike from the tree. The only part of the bike that extends out of the tree is the front wheel and part of the handlebar. Within a year or so, the bike will not be visible.
If you want to be philosophical for a moment, there are a number of meanings you could take from this photo. (Feel free to add yours as a comment.) I'll just take it as a reminder to get back on the bike!
