... to show the armadillo it could be done.
I told that joke about armadillos, a.k.a. "Texas speed bumps", many times when I lived in the south. Armadillos have two defenses: dig down into the ground, or jump to about bumper height. Neither works well on a road.
But now that I've moved to the NorthEast, I have say that groundhogs might not be any better. We had groundhogs in the south, but not as many I guess. They're plastered all over the roads here. And unlike armadillos, which often stay intact after getting killed, the groundhogs usually end up in pieces smeared all over.
The groundhogs seem to really like the areas right next to the road. They pop out on the roads and I'm terrified of hitting one on my bike.
Anyone ever hit one on a bike?
What about squirrels?
