we have over a 100,000 of them in town as permanent residents. The only time I have ever gone down commuting was hitting a huge patch of goose crap, several must have been there for a while, as I was going around a corner in the park. I don't hate them but they are more annoying than squirrels around here.

Also currently training a new set of deer, I think, the last two nights in a row 3 does have crossed the trail in front of me. I keep thinking that two of the does are the same ones that I almost hit last spring when they were fawns. I was on a rare beach cruiser ride from one end of town through the other and had to lock up with the coaster brake and they just froze up and stared at me until I came to a stop 2-feet away. Now they are just screwing with me.
