A rabbit almost killed me this morning. (Maybe not, but it sounds dramatic.)

I was travelling around 30 kph down a cycle path when a bush bunny decided it was time to cross the path.

I managed to avoid hitting him and stay upright but I don't know who got the biggest scare.

We have been wondering where the exiled hissing rabbit from the Jimmy Carter incident ended up, I guess now we know! :D

Sounds like the rabbit in Monty Python's Holy Grail. Be sure to carry a holy hand grenade.

So now we wait until dark and then you and Lancelot and I will jump out of the rabbit, taking them by suprise....

Who jumps out of the rabbit?

Uh, you, Lancelot and I, uh.... suppose we built this large wooden badger...?

Judging by what the rabbit posted over on the bunny forms I'd say he got the biggest scare;)

That's what I like about using the road: automobile traffic has a tendency to sweep the street clean of "obstacles."

By the by, Media, I saw an episode of "Bill Nye, the Science Guy" in which he really became our greatest spokesperson. Hat's off to him.

One day riding on a road near my house I hab both rabbits and squrrels cut across right in front of my tire and then had a deer race with me (she won) then a skunk started racing with me (I won). So I'm not sure thoughs multi-wheeled thinks are all that effective.
