I was in a group ride with several other roadies when a deer and two fawns popped out on the road. The deer got nervous and tried to jump the paceline and KO'ed a rider in the head. Down he goes. We rush over and check the bike for any damage.

Then we see what happened to Freddy. Good thing he had that helmet; it was cracked.

Bike and deer were fine.
