I've had something like that. Cruising along the south Eau Claire pathway a black squirrel starts running right across the pathway on an intercept course. I see this guy in my peripheral vision but keep thinking "he'll move - these guys are agile".
I keep tracking him, my gaze going lower, and lower, towards my front tire - like a WW2 sailor at the rail, watching a torpedo bearing in on the bow.
He hits the front wheel but luckily he isn't hurt. Looked a little stunned but it had to have been one of the most bizarre things I've had happen on a bike.
