I have to think that some clowns are walking out onto the bike paths, and feeding the geese from the paths. I don't ride fast around them.
You haven't lived until some asshat lets his unleased dog scare the Toulouse geese into flight just as you arrive on a bike. They generally only get about five feet off the ground, tend to stay right over the bike path and are like flying bowling balls. You really, really don't want to get hit by one of these.
