It's a water spigot for fire hoses on a city street, or, its a self portrait of me as a photographer, depending upon how you look at things. You can see me and my bike, as well as a storefront, in the distorted reflection. Not expecting a whole lot from this, I don't think it's quite DPC fare. So well, I like it ;)
Couple alternates.

It appears to be metal, and I've never seen metal stretch so I'm stumped.

A bicycle reflection.

Is this where the handlebars connect with the bike?

This looks like some part of a bike or motorcycle (handlebars?) to me. At first I thought it was plumbing, but then I saw the reflection in the front, which looks like it's outside. I like the round shiny bit in the front. Interesting DOF, which makes it hard to identify.

I'd like to see more DOF and more of it in focus. It's metal, not sure what, the cover of a screw/bolt.
