    Not sure what this means for us… probably nothing good. I note that the one cyclist is the video did not run over the critter

    FWIW this study really makes me sad- who the heck deliberately runs over a turtle??!

    I once ran over a squirrel on the W&OD, when he bolted in front of me from the bushes as I was doing about 23mph. I felt so bad I almost cried :( I can’t imagine why anyone would intentionally run over anything.

    Also, someone noted in the comments that 93% or so of the 6% were SUV drivers….

    If I was able to turn the peddles on a 4000 lb. bicycle I would go out of my way to run over the drivers in this video.

    As a sadistic animal, I now know why I feel like they’re all gunning for me. ;)

    Love,

    What about all the purposeful protein ingestion on the more humid areas of our trail network?

    The swallowtail butterfly butterfly corpses were littering the slopes of Mt Weather yesterday, but only one tried a kamikazee on me.

    Unfortunately, I witnessed the non-experimental version of this phenomenon when I was 13, in the final moments of our family dog’s life (we had recently moved and didn’t realize she had figured out how to escape the gate).
