I bought slicks yesterday for my mountain bike commuter. A lot quicker and smoother than my knobbies. I was coming home along a bike trail last night at sundown and came with 12 feet of a deer, we were both kind of startled when I came around the corner.

Next time, stick a baseball card in your spokes. ;)

I just sing as I ride...keeps away deer, coyotes, and most people!

I have never seen a deer this far into town before so I was not even expecting it, plus I was gunned.
