Just a 5 min drive from home to work this morning, 2 squirrels tried to run across my path. What the hell is wrong with them?!

It's one thing to have a small creature with no concept of a car dart out into the road when it's an unavoidable miss. But too often no one even attempts to brake.
I have a problem seeing the roadkill around here - squirrels, foxes, raccoons, etc. I have little doubt most of them could have been avoided if the pedal-to-the-metal mentality of the SUV drivers I see could be eased off a bit.
Give the remaining wildlife in its 13% allowable greenspace a chance - slow the hell down in our tiny wooded areas!!!!! :x

I have hit a squirrel while riding my bike. I dont think you try to hit one, thats near impossible. Im not about to lock up my wheels and go over my bars because of a squirrel.
I get mad at people when they slam on the brakes with people behind them because a frikin RODENT runs out in front of them. I have seen people get in worse accidents by trying to avoid a small animal than what would have happened if they just hit it. Im an animal lover too, but please...its a rat with a bushy tail. I dont think anyone would be complaining if that was a rat in his wheel?
About the only animal I might swerve for is a Deer. Even then, chances are Id get less hurt hitting a deer than swerving and hitting a car or a tree. Weigh your options...

Bully for you. Think loss of greenspace more than "frikin RODENT" while you fill up that SUV, avoiding those pesky headlines about $48/barrel for oil while people get shot up every day in oil producing nations. Wear your bike helmet and eat three square meals a day. All will be well.
:roll: Back atcha, Slick!
