This is a peak time of year for deer crashes, even in heavily
populated areas.


i almost crushed a squirrel yesterday, but hitting a deer on a bike
would be something...anyone ever?...naw!
that it would have killed me if I'd been 10-15 feet faster.

Could see it happening on a road bike, too, but not nearly as likely I
wouldn't think. Still... watch out!

We had a deer run across the road right in front of our 25mph pace line.
One guy panicked and hit his brakes too hard, endo'ed. Broken collar
bone and bike frame.
