Abstract Thursday: Mystery

This rather bizarre contraption (made more bizarre for the blip, I admit) was leaning against a woodpile by the barn. I had no idea what it was, or had been. I tried asking John, he didn't know what it was either. In the end, after an investigative jaunt, he remembered: It was the remnants of a bicycle stand he had made for the boys for setting a bike on while fixing it. The cloth was there to protect the bike frame.
