dumb **** should have gotten out of the way. wasn't going that fast and he was staring me down for like a 1/20 of a mile before i SQUASHED him.
Which means you had the time to see it and get around it.

How would you feel if someone did that to your dog?

that was the first time ever i've come across an animal that didn't scurry away. i didn't run it over on purpose, but literally every other time i've come across one they've scurried away... at least with chipmunks and squirrels. there is no legit way to guess which way they'll scurry, so the best bet is to just keep going straight and let them get out of the way.

Why would you run over a chipmunk

ride around it

You ride in like the backcountry anyway there are no cars. Just go to the shoulder and let it live.

i was on a path, which is not very wide. didn't have time to hit the country roads.

it's not going to run in a random direction. It might rarely stay still because it's surprised/scared/schoked/etc. But if you were to move either to the left or the right a little long before reaching it, nothing would have happened, as it would not have started to run in the direction you moved in.

uhhhh, yes it is. 9/10 times they run 2-3 times in each direction before the finally commit to which direction they want to sprint off in.

i've come across literally thousands of chipmunks/squirrels while on the bike at this point. this is literally the first one ever that just froze like a deer in the headlights.
