If you are unlucky it's messy but the pigeon kinda just breaks a wing. If you are lucky the pigeon was carrying a flux capacitor and as you get flung over the handlebars accelerating violently to 88mph you then land in the future, happens all the time I'm sure just we haven't caught up with those people yet.

I had a cat run into my front wheel on the way to work once. I will never forget coming to an abrupt stop, wondering why and then looking down to see a cat caught between spokes in my front wheel. It then ran under a parked car and disappeared (a passer by and I looked for it to make sure it was ok). Wheel was fine.
4/10 wouldn’t ride through a cat again.

Squirrels, it's squirrels you need to be cautious of. They have an unhealthy desire to dart back across the path of danger, even after initially avoiding it.

This is what happens when a goose flies into your wheel.
The goose's wing get trapped between the spokes
You go over the handlebars and bruise your self in many places
Goose is freed by random Polish guys and flaps away
Spend £50 on replacement rear derailleur and truing front wheelHTH

I was doing a 25 mile TT up in Dundee, a long, long time ago when a pigeon flew straight into my wheel and was decapitated. Blood everywhere. I didn’t PB.

What happens if a pigeon flies into your front wheel?
I ride in fear of this happening. Pigeons don't seem to hear me coming, then when they eventually realise that I'm bearing down on them, they flap off almost randomly. It's a matter of time before one jumps straight into my front wheel.
But then what happens? Any experiences?
