    Oh deer.

    I must confess "in case I get hit by an antelope" was not one of my top three reasons for wearing helmet. Riding along, minding your own business then suddenly BAM(bi), you are on the deck....

    I'm just waiting for AndyManc to tell us that it's typical of f*cking antelope these days. They're scum that don't give a rat's about us cyclists and the government aren't doing anything about it.

    Parazzi in Bushy Park again this morning. I reckon they're waiting to catch a similar moment involving one of the red deer.

    Does 'Mug of tea and a sausage sammich twice' know about these attacks?

    I'm sure there are other examples which could be cut and pasted.

    The cyclist knew there was a helmet cam nearby, he clearly deliberately got hit by the deer just to prove a point. You know how antagonistic these helmet cam warriors are, I don't use a cam and I've never been hit by a deer,says it all really.

    I think the cyclist was a RLJer....

    Previously he had not stopped at a Zebra Crossing and a Pelican Crossing.... the unexpected Antelope Crossing got him though....

    See that's what you get if you encroach an ASL (Antelope Stop Line).

    Can't say if the the cyclist was a Red Light Jumper, but I suspect he might be a Red Deer Jumper.
