I spanked a deer once.
I was riding down a narrow path between trees and a fence when a group of four or five deer burst out of the trees. All of them leapt the fence except one who tried to go through it. I was on the brakes by this point, with the rear end of my Patriot (that’s how long ago it was), sliding around. Rear wheel caught the back end of the deer which straightened me up again and gave the deer the impetus to jump the fence.
When I got home, I spotted deer hair stuck to my rear brake rotor. Have always worried since then that there’s a deer out there with Shimano branded on it’s arse and vengeance on its mind.
