A goose. On my way to work the other morning. Unpleasant for all concerned.

supersonic

A super tram.

Laurence25

A dead rabbit.

RupertCommunicator

A Bentley. He cut me up on the road. Completely his fault. Scratched his door. Serves him right, the pumper!

butcher of bakersfield

A parked car.

I almost seen someone get wiped out by a sheep on the c2c last week too.

kaytronika

a human child

mrfmilo

Badger.

blister pus

very nearly had death by sheep the other day too, good job there wasn't any oncoming traffic, seriously had to reappraise speed and riding style along that stretch of road. for a cyclist they really do not move until it's too late. thick as fuck isn't in it

apart from that - clipped a cow and have been hit by / hit several pheasant.

Spugnut

A parked police car with policemen in it.

They told me off.

projectsome

lampost/signpost

seanoevil

A parked car; late at night - pissed as a fart, on way down a hilly road = hospital for 2 weeks with punctured lung, bruised liver, broken ribs and various lacerations. Bike, no damage at all, and it weren't mine!

I've crashed into myself a few times.

Rode over a dead sheep once it was getting dark and I didnt see it till it was too late. It was a bit squishy.

rode through a 'puddle' flat out in wales, turned out to be a huuuuge hole full of water. the whole wheel went in up to the v-brakes and i went flying over the handlebars and landed about 2-3 metres away face down in the mud. dad was taking a photo of me at the time and you could just see the wheel beginning to sink!

I actually went to school with someone called Ronald McDonald lol.

Certainly scarred him for life anyway. I hear that's why he's got the Joker make-up on now.

A bloody big horse

I took out a pigeon once on the commute home as it swooped a bit low and caught my front wheel. Dozy fecker.

crashed into a car the other week on my road bike, the stupid bloke overtook me just before a roundabout and then pulled right over to the left so I had no space to get past. Then stopped dead leaving me no where to go except into the said car. A few harsh words were said that day :evil:

A gate... My V brakes wouldnt work in the wet very well and I was going a bit too fast. I managed to clear the gate, bike didnt though... Mates loved it, forest warden wasnt feeling the same.

Ashfelt road, today in fact, 15 minutes before the start of a 70km XC race on the new Five.
Saw my mate and tried to manual past him down hill, as you do, unfortunately I looped out and tore the ass out of my fav fox shorts, bruised my ass, gashed my forearm and genuinely looked like a total tosser sliding down the road during the warm up. :oops:
