bicycle derailleur, acting as a trail marker in the Gabriola woodsI love the offbeat trail markers I find in the woods on Gabriola. This one is a bicycle derailleur (you know, the part that de-rails the chain from one cog or chain ring and moves it to another when you change gears) that’s been mounted on a branch.

I walked this trail for over a year before I met the trail builder and maintainer guy. He was on his bicycle, of course.
