myself and a friend were out for spin when a squirrel ran out in front of us. I’m well familiar with the pic in the OP, so I brake. Squirrel passes in front of me and leaps through my friends rear wheel. Luckily for everyone/everything concerned, it was a Campag G3-laced wheel, so big gaps between spoke groups. Squirrel was diving through a gap when the next spoke came up and threw him ~6 feet into the air. He landed apparently unharmed and tore off into the undergrowth. We’re gobsmacked at what just happened 😀
