I guess a kid on a bike has 3 options when bearing down on a cat in the bike lane.
Dodge into traffic
Bolt over the curb and hope for the best.
Stay steady on course and hope for the best.
Fluffy does not enter the equation.
Animals and bicycles dont always mix.
We had a Dobe(13 of them to be exact), My Brother took her out on the leash on a bike, and when he was braking, she went ramshackle into the spokes.
Lessons were learned, and gladly the Pooch wasnt hurt to badly. Brother recovered as well...Almost L0L
