Well, it is quite timely i see this thread, because this past weekend, on the mtb trails, a squirrel ran into my back wheel on a descent. my husband saw it fly into the air. ummm...it didn't make it. I cried

my husband said that if i had done anything differently i probably would have been very injured, and i didn't hit the squirrel it ran into me. well, i like to think that but i still feel very sad.
