Bird strike.

Somewhere around here i have pics of a friend hit by a barn swallow doing 60-65 mph.

Almost knocked him off the bike.
How he kept upright I do not know.

The bruise on his chest reminded me of pictures of someone shot with a 38 pistol wearing a bullet proof vest.

He sold his bike.


At 60, even a grasshopper between the eyes will leave a pretty good welt. My worst, though, was a wasp that got inside my helmet at about 60. I was screaming obscenities, steering with my knee, and trying to rip the helmet off. It stung me 3 times under the leg of my glasses before I got him handled. If I'd been allergic, it would have been all over.
