• 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?

  • 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.
