I got overtaken by a big lump of wild animal poop on my last ride after I rode through it and it got flung back in my direction of travel off my rear wheel to land on the top of my helmet. Spent the next 20 mins trying to work out where the awful smell was coming from and why it was following me.
I overtook a Mercedes going down Llanberis pass when I was young.
55mph with no helmet,and on Canti brakes I'd have been skinned alive if I came off!!
I nearly hit a badger once on Kirkby fell, shit me right up it did!
Last Summer In Tuscany I startled an Eagle sat at the roadside basking in the sun, it took off as I cut through the apex of a corner on my road bike very close top it. A magnificent but scary sight!
On my motorbike I overtook a light aircraft, he was flying very low and following the A303. It was dusk so I wonder if he was running late and getting lost.
I got overtaken by about 5 deer in Sherwood Forest several years back.
it was dusk and I was on my own pootling back to the car park and they just appeared out of the woods on my right - ran past me along the track, then darted left and back into the woods.
It was a bit eerie to be honest, almost ethereal, and I wondered for a while if I'd imagined it.
I once overtook a horse drawn gypsy buggy with alloys uphill... I was riding a pedal powered rickshaw.
Overtook a couple of blokes who were riding "filing cabinets" on that steep bit of road near Hardcastle Crags. I was on a road bike. 😉
