A BIKE with a “heart breaking” note was found after it was left abandoned in a Wirral recreation area.
On Wednesday (February 14), one resident who was walking by The Dips in New Brighton discovered the bike leaning against a rock with a note attached to it.
It read: “Please take me I need a new home. I’ve been a good reliable bike, but my owner died. Fix my front brake and I’m good to go.
“It would be a shame if I did like my owner when I have lots of fun to give someone.
“Yours faithfully Silver (that’s my name).”
Resident David Parry, who found the sweet gesture, took to social media to share pictures of the bike which has been described as a “beautiful and generous gesture” by residents.
One person said: “Aww what a lovely thing to go, hope it goes to someone as thoughtful, caring, and kind, as the owner was.”
Another commented: “Bittersweet! but a beautiful and generous gesture, I hope the new owner realises and appreciates it.”
A third added: “So nice to see something positive in this present day. Sad over the circumstances.”
One person said: “Oh no hope someone gets hold of it find a person who genuinely needs it. It could be the beginning of a very useful life.”
Another person added: “Well I didn't expect to be brought to tears by a bike. This is so sad and I hope someone gives Silver a home.”
One comment said: “That's possibly the saddest thing I've seen, hope it goes to a good home.”
