Turtle Flat
 

From my brother in law:

"Oh sure, while on your bike you've been hit by police cars and downpours, but
can you top this? On the BikeE when I see ... a big snapper very, very slowly
making his way across the road. With all the traffic he's a definite goner.
Me, I pull up and try to prod him along with my front wheel, until he bites the
tire and gives me a flat! When I very, very carefully pick him up--he ****es
all over me. So I pitch him into the next pond as far as I can throw the
******* and start walking home."

funny. There was a reptile or woods animal bites tire story gives flat here
last year, iirc. No kidding. What did you tell the LBS when you got a new
tire.

Around here we know better than go after a snapper. A large one bit
the wooden handle off a shovel. I'm surprised it didn't do some damage
to the rim. I've seen a few really large snappers that you can't pick
up and those that are small enough to pick up you'd best be careful
around as that long neck of their's can come around a decent distance.

I am glad you saved him and it's too bad it cost you your tire and a
flat.

Weird. Just today I saw a poor, dead turtle in the road; he'd obviously
been run over.

How would you like it is someone tried to prod you along with the front
wheel of a bike?
