What is the story behind Bicycle in a Tree's name?

The shop is named after a 1950s-era bicycle that became embedded in a tree on Vashon Island over 50 years ago. A young boy lost the bike in 1954, and it was later discovered five feet high in the air with the tree grown around it, becoming a local natural roadside attraction and source of community lore.

Where can visitors see the bicycle in the tree that inspired the shop's name?

The bicycle is located about 50 feet into the woods off Vashon Highway, near the Sound Food Café on Vashon Island. According to reports, the front wheel of the 1950s bike still turns, and the site has inspired published works including a Berkeley Breathed book and a Japanese documentary.
