Ok, so yesterday I went for one of my bike rides. It was Sunday so I decided not to load up the bike and make a big fuss but to just ride over to my sister's house and say good morning. It was a little windy but all in all a good visit and a good ride. I was pulling into my neighborhood when I saw something out of the corner of my eye crossing the road. I thought it was a cat for a minute but the closer it got I realized it was a squirrle and it was coming right for me. I put on my breaks just as it's head hit my front tire. The collision knocked him back but he jumped up and bounced right back at my tire again, trying so hard to get past me. It all happened so fast and I still hadn't come to a complete stop. After being hit twice he jumped up a third time and ran as fast as he could and... I ran over him! With both tires too! It was just a freak accident. I looked back and the little guy was running across a yard and up a tree so I don't think I hurt him at all but he sure scared the crap out of me. I just kept saying "OH! OH!" really loud. How weird is that? Anyway, it seems I've had alot of things happen with animals during runs and rides and I just wanted to know if anyone else had any stories to share.

This is crazy and disgusting too! I cannot believe he lived. Cami's husband once rode over a rattle snake when he was biking in the mountains. He actually had to pin it and kill it with his tires because he scouts were behind him.
