Almost hit a beaver

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Now this is exactly what Stormcrowe was talking about. I mean, that's pretty twisted.

I'm glad DrPete is keeping this forum 'clean' because if I saw any non-literal uses of the word beaver, I would be really upset as the sanctity of road cycling would be compromised.

As for avoiding the bike/beaver collision.. could the beaver be bunny-hopped? It can't be taller than about 24cm or so.
