Sorry, no picture, the offending Badger has now dissapeared.
I can only assume that it's either popped, or the local Badger inflation department have relocated it elsewhere as a cyclist calming measure.

Floated off into orbit more like!
I'd not seen a badger (inflated or otherwise) until I moved to the south west. My first experience was to see one dead, on it's back rigamortis setting in. I saw it when I was absolutely on my limit having just been dropped by the chaingang 10 miles from home and was at the 'should I try to get back on or just quit now' stage when I saw the badger and the first thought that went throuh my mind as I saw it's black and white snout was:
'sh1t! A panda!'
I still can't believe that thought went through my head!

I'm quite concerned about the lack of dead badgers. At one stage I use to judge my audax ride by the number of badger corpses spotted leading to a personal best of a 'three badger ride'.
This year, I have not seen any dead badgers from my bike though there's one that I've driven past a few times on the A64 on the outskirts of Leeds.
Are there fewer dead badgers because there's fewer live badgers provide the feedstock for roadkill?
A couple of years ago I got really excited when, cycling through the Carmargue, I spotted a dead coypu. Ten kilometers and six corpses later, I lost interest.

Schrodinger's Badger?
In Schrödinger’s original thought experiment he describes how one could, in principle, transform a superposition inside an atom to a large-scale superposition of a live and dead cat by coupling cat and atom with the help of a ‘‘diabolical mechanism.’’ He proposed a scenario with a cat in a sealed box, where the cat's life or death was dependent on the state of a subatomic particle. According to Schrödinger, the Copenhagen interpretation implies that the cat remains both alive and dead until the box is opened.

Maybe a passerby tried to revive it via mouth-to-mouth?
