Further Posted August 23, 2017 Share #1 Posted August 23, 2017 I was riding rural roads just before sunrise. Barn cats would be sleeping on the road, I didn't have much of light, hell of a rush when an oil spot springs to life and snarls at you. Raccoons were the exact opposite. They would cross the road on their way home, and payed no mind to a bicycle, damn near suicidal, and there were always more than one. Those were good times 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Far ★ Posted August 23, 2017 Share #2 Posted August 23, 2017 Yeah. I always had to have a small supernova lighting my way. I had a NightRider system which cost more than the bike I had it mounted to. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted August 23, 2017 Share #3 Posted August 23, 2017 Deer are attracted to the light. They can't see the bike or the rider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F_in Ray Of Sunshine Posted August 23, 2017 Share #4 Posted August 23, 2017 I used to count rabbits. On a good morning, I'd see about 20. Then there was the lady I used to scare the shit out of every morning. For a while there were two older women who used to walk the canal. When I first encountered them, I slowed down behind them and waited for a chance to pass. The one women about jumped out of her skin. After this happened a couple of times, I started saying "good morning" from a ways back. She STILL jumped about a half mile. Even the woman with her was like "WTH is wrong with you?" to her. Now I miss my commutes, jerk. ? (Of course that, and the constant drama are the only things I miss about that festering shithole) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
