Road cycling is breaking my heart! I just bought my bike 2.5 weeks ago, and I have killed 2 chipmunks, clipped the wing of a cardinal, and today I ALMOST HIT A DEER!

In each of these instances the animal just darted out of the woods right under my tire (one chipmunk dove into the spokes, getting flung around hitting my leg).

Is this happening as frequently to everyone else this time of year?
