I almost hit a deer. I was riding an unfamiliar bike (a 1948 Raleigh Record Ace that I'm getting ready to sell... so repeated test rides to make sure it's saleable) and it has a dynamo headlight that flashes a bit. I suspect the deer was puzzled by the very small but very bright point of flashing light. So she was standing right in front of me, looking straight at me, and I got to maybe 20 feet from her before I saw her. I was not paying attention, more focused on the bike. I glanced up and there she was... I yelled "beat it, moron!" and she crashed through the underbrush. Dumb deer.
