Yet another reason for me NOT to bike ride
Ever notice, nature usually wins one way or another.
I, unfortunately, have had two deer strikes. Both with red cars. Totalled both cars and one of the deers. I can't imagine hitting one while on a bike.

Last year a doe kamakazi ran into the driver side front fender. I was doing less than 30mph and i saw her running across a field right at me and was slowing down. She hit just behind the headlight assembly broke the light fixture, dented fender and sprayed deer crap down the side of the truck, running board kept her from damaging the driver door.

Where I used to live, the road to work had one straightaway. One morning when I entered it, saw a deer ahead in the field to my right, running the same direction as me and angling toward the road. Started to cross the road about 100 yards in front of me, ran right into a pickup truck coming the other way and got launched right back to where it came from. Dead before it hit the ground, I’m sure. Surprisingly, the truck wasn’t damaged too bad, but it was a 70’s model…

Someone, somewhere is thinking this. I expect to see billboards.
Btw, this is video from France. Rider struck a Red Deer stag.
