Silly Rabbit
 

oooo

that's pretty


but what happens if you change teams?

Wait, did you hit a rabbit with your bike? Is that hair on the wheel and fork?

So did he get chopped up in the spokes?

It was my teammate. I was behind the carnage.

decapitated :eek:

blood on the rim...nice!

I should add that this picture was taken about 30 minutes after it happened; there was more residue on the bike immediately after but we didn't stop to take the picture until we were waiting at a regroup later in the ride.

You Must have your lucky socks on!!!

Hossenfeffer.

That's hardcore.

Did he crash?

no

Did that to a squirrel once. Ain't pretty but I stayed up and amazingly my wheel stayed true. Hope your teammate stayed upright!

That's impressive...the timing would have to be perfect.

As the regional rep. for PETA, I'm launching an investigation.

Looks like a Rock Racing paint job:p

We thought it was a squirrel at first. Went back after the ride and found the body...

Rabbit makes good eat'n.

I hit a giant rabbit going about 30mph once in a training crit group ride. I made a thread about it here also. It just amazed me how loud it was when its head exploded.

k I feel dumb.

It's ok if you think fur is pimpin' :D

Also look at the trailing edge of the left fork leg...you'll see a nice red streak there as well. You should've seen my shins...:twitchy:

It was me that the rabbit decided to do a Kamikaze run on. Of course, he didn't realize that I was running low spoke count, bladed spoke wheels and that the trailing edges of my fork are pretty sharp...I don't run that stuff just for aerodynamics you know ;)

BTW, we were going along a bike path at around 20 mph. I literally barely felt it or even slowed down. I think it was lucky (for both me AND the rabbit) that it was his neck that ended up in the "guillotine". I have a feeling the body would've been a bit more substantial...and that might have resulted in a slightly different outcome :eek:

Anyway...that was one of those Forte Titan front wheels I've recommended in the past. Didn't affect it one bit. One more reason those wheels are my "best bang for the buck" choice :thumb:

I was on the phone with kuf and I asked her to look at this thread. "ok, what am I looking at".

"keep reading"
