Chased by a badger once when I went for a night ride when I used to work nights. I think it tried to bite the tyre but released instantly when it's mouth started to rise. Hard to tell as I was cycling hard at the time trying to get away from it and didn't look back. I only really knew it was happening because in the dead of night I could hear it approach and hear snuffly noises. In fairness it could have been something else but I'd encountered badgers before and the sounds seemed similar. I ought to do that again sometime as the atmosphere of riding at night was quite unique and memorable perhaps not in the same area as the badger though and perhaps with company next time.
