Fall Is Active Time for Deer, Be Alert!

You are on your bike and a deer is in front of you on the road at dusk or dawn, do you try to swerve to avoid a collision?  NO, says the experts.  Swerving may likely cause bike to go down, hit a tree or guard rail or even hit the deer as it makes a last minute leap to “safety.”  Stay the course. Using a horn and control brake is the best action.  Deer are traveling the most during October and November.  Remember, a deer is not a stationary article.  What has your experience been?
