I Just Killed a Bird

I Just Killed a Bird

I've biked 2266.42 km so far in 2014, but today I did something for the first time.  In fact, today I did something for the first time in my life.  Today, I killed a bird.

It was completely unintentional. The little bird flew into my spokes while I was going about 28 km/h. It was dead on impact.  There was nothing I could do to avoid the accident.

To make things worse, it was witnessed by two little kids walking the waterfront with their parents.  They just got a good lesson in the fragility of life... especially if you're a little bird.

Now I know how Randy Johnson felt.
