Ohio Bicyclist T-boned By Deer

Akron, Ohio
When deer meets bike, nature wins

Over the last 12 years riding the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail, cyclist Kathleen Considine has only seen fleeting glimpes of deer deep in the trees. Imagine her surprise when Kathleen was suddenly broadsided by a doe, leaving her with a dented bike, scrapes, bruises, a dislocated knee & deer scent on her clothes.

A few years back in Tooele, Utah, a cyclist was badly injured in a downhill collision with a deer. The deer was killed. It's a scary thought.
