Karma’s a bitch. So is Mother Goose.
Raccoon sees me coming and leaps into the side of my front wheel.
Travelling down a hill in the dark at about 40 km/hr when this roo darted out from the right. It all happened so quickly, I didn’t even have the time to get my hands on the brake levers. You can see from the digital time, it all happened over one second. Scared the shite out of me. Have learned my lesson that going fast down a hill in the dark is not very clever!
An unexpected road crossing while being passed by a truck.
Little bastard knocked me off the take off ramp……3 broken ribs and a punctured lung, thanks to the doctors and nurses at the Alfred Hospital, Melbourne
Passed these people 3 times. All times they had it off leash and out of control.
Owner had no control. Lucky it wasn’t hit by a car.
E/B on Louis Rd the loose dog came from behind then came near my left leg. Had to use pepper spray to keep from getting bit.
Animal ignored owner’s repeated calls to stop.
