The Spider Man Bike Piece

The Spider Man Bike is the rarest and most expensive bike ever created. Its makeup of materials is a bit excessive for the subject matter and theming of the bike. Primarily targeted at children, it is ironic that this bike is so sought over by bike enthusiasts globally. It is unknown how many Spider Man bikes are in circulation.

History
Little is known about the Spider Man Bike Piece, but many studies which have been indefinitely suspended (too dangerous to continue) lead many to believe the bike is an artifact of biblical proportion.

Founding of the Bike
In the year of 1882 a young Giovanni Gordoza, a newly immigrated man from Italy, began his new life in America as a measly coal worker. Mr. Gordoza moved to Monongah, West Virginia and began work in the Fairmont Coal Company No. 6 mine. This mine was vastly popular among Italian immigrants. Many late nights and poor pay led Mr. Gordoza to despise his work. Mr. Gordoza sought a life of luxury when immigrating and thought it all lost. On the faithful morning of December 6th, 1907 Mr. Gordoza was working away through the mine whenever his pickaxe struck a surface much harder than any coal he had hit before. Unbeknownst to him this was tantalum and forged steel. Mr. Gordoza had struck what we now know today as the Spider Man Bike Piece and the Spider Man Bike Piece helmet. Mr. Gordoza had never seen such a thing. Mr. Gordoza began to feel sickly and at approximately 9:17 A.M. snuck the bike out of the mine. Disaster struck only an hour and eleven minutes later whenever an explosion and fire occurred killing 362 men. 171 of these men were Italian immigrants. Mr. Gordoza saw this as a prophetic message from God himself.

The history of the Bike within the Gordoza family
Not much of the bike's whereabouts are known from beyond this point. Mr. Gordoza wrote many entries within his personal journal about many of it's anomalous properties while he remained with us. Mr. Gordoza wrote about the immense wealth and fortune that he had obtained after leaving the mining company and even went as far to attribute it to the wonder he had found within the mine. What was once a prophetic savior to Mr. Gordoza however slowly became a curse. Mr. Gordoza wrote,

"Those damned wheels. Damn ye, training wheels. Even the blackest of coals could not compare to the abyss which ye have shown. My nights once spent in a tunnel short of breath can not even scoff in contrast to the horrors I see when my eyes lay dormant."

Mr. Gordoza was always a family man and a go-getter, but upon finding this artifact lived a more fearful and shut in lifestyle. He was very protective of the artifact leading to many household arguments. He also hid it away from the public in fear that if anyone were to find out of it's existence they would take it away to be studied. This had led many scientists to agree that the Spider Man Bike Piece has yet another power: mind control. Mr. Gordoza not only changed whenever he came into possession of the object, but he also became a much more violent man. Outbursts and fights were not uncommon in his household. Mr. Gordoza feared that if the object were ever to stay out of the Gordoza's lineage and possession for more than ten years at a time great chaos and imbalance would rule the world. Mr. Gordoza passed on July 11th, 1914 and on his deathbed requested that the object be passed onto his son, Lorenzo Gordoza, to which he gladly accepted. The history of the object however gets muddy from here on out. Unlike his father before him, Lorenzo did not seek to keep accounts of the object and much farther did not do much with the item. The widely spread theory is that upon inheriting both his father's work and estate that he did not have much time to worry about the heirloom or his father's superstitions.

Little is known about Lorenzo except for his father's accounts of his trickery, rebellious, and sneaky behavior as a young child. Lorenzo made himself out to be a stout man such as his father before him despite not believing in the powers of the Spiderman Bike Piece. Contrary to popular belief that a young rebellious teen would disregard his father's dying wishes and concerns he respected them whilst not believing these stories. Lorenzo himself kept the item in his possession and would even later pass the object onto his own son. This disbelief would be disproven on one faithful October night. On October 13th, 1924 Lorenzo was alone within his study gazing upon the heirloom. Lorenzo decided to do something he had never done before. He tried the helmet on. It was a perfect fit. Unbeknownst to Lorenzo however an armed intruder was sneaking up behind him and a single shot rang out. Lorenzo turned around quickly to find the man dead with a single gunshot wound to the head. He took the helmet off and saw a circle of lead. At a later time Lorenzo gave his testimony to the police stating that he had shot the intruder himself. Lorenzo saw no jail time but later would later write his only account of the bike found by arachnocycologist,

"What was I supposed to tell the police then? No man would believe that the bullet could not pierce it. Nor would any officer believe the ricochet had killed him. At night I take it out and fire at it in the woods behind the estate. Nothing has been able to even scratch it. What other secrets did my father not tell me of this?"

The Gordoza lineage would later fall out of the limelight until the year of 2009. After generations of ownership of the Spiderman Bike Piece the superstitions and rumors surrounding the piece became a long forgotten tradition of the Gordoza family. Dennis Gordoza came into ownership of the bike and would later auction it off. The auction began at 34,000 USD with the auction lasting over an hour and a half. The total auction price ended at 42,150 USD.

The current whereabouts of the Bike
The auctioning of the bike would lead to a plethora of different purchases and owners. The bikes ownership and whereabouts have gotten lost from time to time with such outings as Craiglist and Facebook Marketplace. The bike has however appeared to have resurfaced. As of February 26th, 2021 the bike appears to be within the hands of the popular sketch comedy group SuperMega. It is not yet known how they acquired the great piece that is the Spiderman Bike. Perhaps they were gifted the bike from a private party. It could even have been sent in during their popular mail time videos. The bike was featured in the video: Daddy's Boy wherein Ryan Magee is seen riding the bike itself.

Previous Sales
The most famous sale of this bike was by the Gordoza family. They sold it at an auction at a starting bid of $34,000 USD in 2009 ($41,280.13 inflation adjusted USD as of 2021), and ended at a max bid of $42150 USD ($51,175.22 inflation adjusted USD as of 2021). The bidding lasted over an hour and a half. The current owners appear to be Matt Watson and Ryan Magee of the YouTube sketch comedy SuperMega.

It is important to note that this sale did not include the Spider Man themed helmet. Speculations lead to the thought that Lorenzo Gordoza left the helmet within his personal collection.

Anomalous Properties

 * The helmet is bulletproof.
 * The Spider Man head on the front of the bike will disappear and reappear from time to time, explaining the fact that the different models of the bike may have a webbed basket on the front.
 * The handlebars grow at a fast rate and must be trimmed to prevent structural instability and implosion.
 * The training wheels have been reported to be a window into another dimension. Those who gaze into the truths of the training wheel will never seem the same again.
 * The overall entity has been reported to have a powerful aura emitting from it. Reports of mind control have even been made.

All scientific studies of the bike have been censored and hidden from the public view. The properties above are leaked from people in the field of arachnocycology.
