Then I feel something soft bounce off of my hand on the handlebar and strike me in the chest. I look down just in time to see the bat flapping and flying off.
I had no scratches, so no concern about rabies.
Anybody else ever run into a winged mammal or bird?
Just bees.
Had one sting me right in the center of my chest one day while riding my bike. It startled me, but I never lost control. Strange sensation feeling that "glow" that follows a sting while riding along all flushed from cycling.
