Our intro, and Q from @uxmark:
Q1. Where are you posting from today?
What are some encounters w/non-human animals you’ve had while cycling? One-offs? Regular interactions? Funny? Alarming? Awe-inspiring? Share photos if you have them 😀🚴♀️❤️
#BikeNite A1: Posting from #WaterlooRegion, a nice mix of an urban core (the cities of #Kitchener, #Waterloo, and #Cambridge), surrounded by four rural townships, #Woolwich, #Wellesley, #Wilmot, and #NorthDumfries.
Some of the best cycle paths (the #TransCanadaTrail f'rinstance) pass right by, or through, farmland.
And some of those farms have dogs which take exception to cyclists passing or crossing through *their* property. More than once I've been chased by dogs with teeth as big as a large boulder the size of a small boulder.
And you'd think a guy on a bike with all the mechanical advantage of modern engineering can move faster than a dog, but you'd be wrong.
