Vehicular deer...

Deer snarl traffic on Golden Gate Bridge

You really have to go to the web page and see this. This is two deer that crossed the golden gate bridge... both in one lane, both going the same way. Sort of like cyclists... one leading the other.

Says a lot about "taking the lane."

Enjoy.

I've had two close encounters with deer while riding; one was when two deer jumped out of the brush right in front of me; another was when I came around a corner and there were three deer in front of me. I braked.

I love that the traffic in the OTHER direction was at a standstill, while it was moving OK (for a deer's pace) behind the deer.

I'd have more respect for them if they wore helmets and paid road tax.

I hope they paid the bridge toll. Perhaps they have FasTrak transpoders?
