Vashon Bike Tree My sister and I went on the hunt for the Vashon Bike Tree and found it yesterday. There are no signs or markings at all but a small path behind the building next to the Sound Cafe. It totally lived up to our expectations! The only thing missing were the handle bars. We were so surprised that the front wheel still turned.

Bicycle Eaten by Tree We stopped by the bike-eating tree today and it was still in good shape. There's a park-and-ride across the street where you can park, then walk across the street. The tree is about 80 feet away down the trail.

Bicycle Eaten by Tree Photo of the Bicycle Eaten by Tree taken on July 15, 2006 with handle-bar/front-wheel assemblage reattached.
Accessibility note: The short trail leading to the bike has a 1-2 foot rough ledge that may be difficult for elderly or handicapped visitors to climb.
[Kev F, 07/23/2006]"Aunt Vy's" son Jim, a friend of Berkeley Breathed, has recently cleared out around the Bicycle Tree and repaired the bike. In addition, "Aunt Vy" has been given a copy of the "original" history of this fun Vashon legend by the woman who lived it and wrote it; copies are available at the Country Store and Gardens, across the street from the Bicycle Tree.

Bicycle Eaten By A Tree Bicycle being eaten by a tree. The bike has been vandalized. But it is still there, and quite a site to behold.
