Just a thought today whilst on the road bike
I went past a dead chubby squirrel in the middle of the road and heard a car behind so put in a bit of a spurt in case said car ran over said chubby squirrel and chubby squirrels innards got squiggled all over me......or am I being paranoid??
I would've put my foot down.
Ran over a rabbit once. It ran alongside me for a while, then decided to make a dash for the roadside verge. On the other side of the road. Through my front wheel. Cut its leg clean off, splattered rabbit blood all up my leg (its very sticky) and the unlucky rabbit's foot ended up in the lap of my mate behind me.
@ir_bandito Similar story to my mate who had a pheasant fly into his front wheel while going down a fast descent over the North Yorks moors. Absolute bloodbath from his accounts.
Getting home with toad guts dried on to the down tube was a pretty low point....
Had a squirrel leap into my front wheel, it got flicked up, past my foot and landed back on the verge about 10 feet down the road. It ran off but it must have crapped itself!
So is my imagination running away with me to picture the guts been shot out like toothpaste all over me and the bike?
Sorry to top you all but while in the army i was on the jungle range for a bit of up down crawl fire and targets popped up so down i dived. Straight onto a shot and rotting sheep. Oh it was pleasant. Had to finish the range heaving between bursts of fire. I was covered in the stuff
Does river-kill count?
kayaked in India one year, where they like to cremate folks on the riverbank and push the remains into the river. I paddled with floating charred embers etc around me and my boat after getting on the river below a pyre, but my friends came across a skull in an eddy, which wasn't entirely without its 'wrapper'...
