That Squirrel was after your bike. I was cleaning mine last week and one jumped off the fence onto the bike seat, Its a good thing I had the keys in my pocket, it only takes a few seconds and your bikes gone.

I really think the little furry rascal was as surprised as I was. He was minding his own business in the tree then all of a sudden... He plopped on the bike and off onto the road faster than you can even think about it.

Some high-voltage lines above an intersection apparently had a bare spot. While we waited at the red light, a squirrel fell on the ground next to my buddy, deader than hell. He looked around to see if anyone besides me was watching, then picked it up and slid it into his saddlebag.

I went to the McDonalds.
