Default Cyclist tries to mow down a squirrel and fails

Riding too fast for the conditions.

'cycling collision with a squirrel caused him to fly over his handle bars.'

"over his handlebars" ?????

Yet more evidence that cycling is not a viable means of transport.

Squirrels fault obviously.

These squirrel weapons should be banned.

Dave - Cyclists VOR. "Many people barely recognise the bicycle as a
legitimate mode of transport; it is either a toy for children or a
vehicle fit only for the poor and/or strange," Dave Horton, of Lancaster
University, wrote in an interim assessment of the Understanding Walking
and Cycling study. "For them, cycling is a bit embarrassing, they fail
to see its purpose, and have no interest in integrating it into their
lives, certainly on a regular basis."

Two thoughts passed through the squirrel's mind at the moment of
impact:-

1. Oh no! I should have worn a helmet!

2. Oh good! It's not Fat Dave the flat-pack assembler, it's just some
northern starveling. I may not be crushed, after all.

One thought passed through the manager's mind at the moment of
impact:-

Oh no! How am I going to blame this on the ref?

Have you been taking lessons from Judith the Liar?

=================================

It's a risky form of transport. If the weather is good, you don't have to
travel far and you don't have to carry much then it's certainly viable.

I heartily agree, with the further statement that any form of transport
has its risks.

Must be a pretty big squirrel. Why don't you cut back on the acorns?
