So far I've accidentally mowed down two chipmunks and - get this - a full grown woodchuck who ran out from some tall grass as I was coming by at about 17mph. The chipmunks did not fare well at all, but the woody shook himself off (Warner Bros. cartoon style) and dissappeared into the grass.
Ground squirrel on a tandem
Magpie on commuter bike
2 pigeons - decapitated in the spokes. Very messy.
Several snakes on mountain bike.
Had two geese take off into me. Carried them for about 100 yards as they flailed me with their wings. Boy did that hurt. Very strong - and mad - birds
Dozens of frog on the Interval in Vermont. I squish grasshoppers all the time in Colorado - kinda a hobby - but I thought the frogs (very small ones) were grasshoppers until I stopped to take a look. I don't like squishing vertabrates.
