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. [Edit: After the ride I took off my jersey and looked carefully for any break in the skin, and found nothing. Take bats seriously!]
Anybody else ever run into a winged mammal or bird?
Hello.
I have encountered at least on 3 seperate occasions and different locations a Bat has flown into me connecting my Chest at all 3 occasion. This happened at least 1.5 years after I was Medically pronounced dead.....but I am ok and all good now again. So I don't know if perhaps that had anything to do with the Bat flying into me, or did it simply just not see me?
