Wish I had a Cycle Cam

[Sharky]

Was riding along at a reasonable pace, but he was going quicker on the wrong side of the road in the same direction, then he decided to do a 90 degree turn right in front of me. Crossed my front wheel about 4ft in front of me!




If I only had a cycle cam, I would have reported him to the Tufty Club
- Squirrels - when will they learn.

Don't worry: a cycle camera only records about 10% of the bizarre stuff you see. The rest of the time, it's pointing the wrong way, hasn't focused it well enough, has run out of charge, ...

They don't even pay bloody road tax, nut eating long haired, vegan, tree hugging hippies

Did you get his frame number?

 

[ClichéGuevara]

Nuts.

Was his tail light legal?

 

[Sharky]

Did you get his frame number?

No - It all happened so quickly, but I did notice that his tail light did not seem to be working.

I had a very pheasant encounter a few days back, my front wheel nearly ate the little fella up.

Nearly? I've ridden over a rabbit once (it leapt out of the verge within a few inches of the front wheel and by heck do they move fast), but I looked back to see it continue its run across the road so I hope it didn't do any lasting damage. I do know someone who was nearly taken off by a dead chicken leaping out of a hedge... well, the fox carrying it did, saw the bikes, dumped the chicken in front and ran off!

A friend of mine had a fox run out of a bush into his front wheel. It took him off the bike. The fox and the bike where fine though.

Op, Amex can help you with you wish.

Talking cams, are they any good at night? A go pro perhaps. Been thinking of a camera for some time too.

Maybe get a drone camera to follow you around.

And the rider?

not that I disagree with your priorities.

A few cuts and bruises but he was ok. For months after that if I saw a fox I'd brace for impact.

I collected a seagull with my front wheel early one morning riding to work. I dunno why they're called seagulls, because the stupid little b_gger sure as hell didn't sea me.

Miss Goodbody reports that she's had some foxes in her bush from time to time.

As long as they weren't cubs.
