My husband Dan posted a video on Facebook of a guy on a bike getting hit by a deer. I was looking for it online, to see how it compares to my near-misses with deer, and found this other crazy video.
So, I'm glad I've missed those deer, and that they've missed me. I have nearly hit rabbits and turkeys, ran over a snake, and had a bald eagle swoop about 8 feet over my head, while biking.
I have run over a running squirrel, and had another one run through my spokes. It was a struggle to maintain control of my road bike in those situations, so I'm sure I would completely be destroyed by a deer. I wonder if I can outfit my bike in a way that would scare them away...
Also, there have been near misses with woodchucks, I remembered last night when passing the incident scene.
