As I was riding yesterday I saw what looked like a large cat in the distance just sitting on the side of the road watching me. (I don't wear my prescription glasses when I ride)

Once I got up to it realized it was a large raccoon. It was just sitting there on the side of the road and got up on his two hind legs as I approached. I don't know if raccoons like to chase but I got up on my pedals and rode off as fast as I could.

Aren't raccoons nocturnal creatures? They are pretty cute though
