A Pennsylvania rider had the unfortunate experience of being the target of a flying red-tailed hawk. He suffered a fractured clavicle, broken thumb and totalled bike. The hawk did not fair so well: shattered wing and punctured trachea and esophagus. He’ll be up and riding within three months. The hawk faces a long period of recovery and rehab at the Windy Ridge Wildlife Refuge. Source WPXI.com

I expect dogs on neighborhood streets and deer in the country. But large, normally high flying birds? It’s a new threat to me. Just proves we’re not safe from anything.
