Ran over a chipmunk once.. no way to dodge it, the damn thing was so fast. Today I hit a dead racoon. There were four (count 'em) dead racoons over one 20ft stretch on the shoulder, and I was drafting closely. The ******* I was drafting didn't give me any warning. Luckily I saw the first two, but couldn't dodge the third. Weirdest **** ever.

i ran over a little bird on friday. it was noticeably displeased.

these idiot girls on a curb jumped at a pigeon once as i was riding by. i nearly had a pigeon to the face...instead i swerved horribly and made an awful, "GAHHHHH!" noise while they fell over laughing.

other than that, my friends and i were riding up to the start of a TT race in boston last weekend when we approached what i assumed was a rolled-up newspaper. as i got closer i realized it was a "dead" squirrel splayed out in the road and was like, "aww". suddenly it jumped up, ran right in front of my friend's tire, into the middle of the road and ran back to the curb, cutting off another friend. we were so shocked.

Ever think that all the dumb squirrels are going to be killed off by this natural selection process until all that is left in the urbanity of the future are ultra-intelligent squirrels?






No? Ok.
