Yes, what is the proper technique for squirrels? I'd like to find out. They are so quick and unpredictable - and just the right size to "trip" the bike that they really do scare me.

So far prayer has worked. I wear a helmet as backup, though.

(It just occured to me that I really have it pretty good if all I have to worry about is squirrels - as opposed to say, bullets - when I ride.)
