I believe that's a strangler fig or banyon. They drop roots down from their branches which eventually form into trunks far out from the main trunk. I haven't given them much thought because I grew up climbing them, but you're right - they are amazing.

for me, it was mainly roadkill and broken glass

Most recently, an entire bike, apparently in fairly good condition. Unfortunately it's been hurled over a barbed wire fence onto a railway embankment.

Nice little story of a sweet commute find.

Forgot one. Not as good as 4 naked teenagers but...
A fly rod case with 2 complete never been used fly rod set ups in it. Roughly $600 to $800 of fly fishing equipment. A St Croix 6 wt (yawn) with reel, floating line and backing and a 2 wt G. Loomis custom with reel, line and backing. I still use the Loomis on small waters. It makes very little fish feel like whales;) I suspect that my find was the end of someone's flyfishing dreams:o |

Coins and cash found. Definitely not as good as 4 naked teenagers!

The wierdest thing I ever saw/found on a commute was a gentleman, who had fallen off the MUP I was on (los gatos creek trail), was all scratched up from the bushes, and ranting about people bailing on meets and asking me if I thought he was cute or too fat, pulling up his shirt to show his belly and a .38 tucked into his shorts What I gathered is that people will post meeting times and places for anonymous hookups and he was stood up. I continued my commute post haste.

Biking around the Silicon Valley last week I found 4 rats and 2 cats in different areas, alongside the gutter.
Gloves too. My friend found a set of six expensive rings in a case a while back. |

Oh brass bullet casings - lots of those. Makes me wonder if I should commute in a bullet-proof vest. This is Texas...
The strangest thing I ever found on a commute was a young woman with substance abuse/mental health issues who tried to hijack my bike by sitting on the rack and demanding that I take her to the nearest police station. |

I found a prosthetic leg last summer, I wanted to turn it in to the police but it creeped me out so I left it. The leg itself didn't creep me out just the fact that is was half buried in dirt and leaves right on the edge of the river almost looked like a person buried.
