Raccoons Borrowed My Bike Week 7

Words Cy Whitling

Date May 6, 2025

The last few weeks have been perfect both for riding, and watching critters. I love cruising home from a ride in the evening as all the animals start stirring and head out for their nightly business. The burst of adrenaline from an owl swooping low as it hunts, and the pleasure of spotting a fox as it slinks through the tall grass never get old.

The subhead to my memoir could be "200 pound man tries to save half a pound from his bike by spending lots of money."

I've certainly been a Cow in the past, it's part of human nature, but it's wild when you try to hold a conversation with folks who just. can't. stop. name. dropping.

New tires are the best, but they can certainly come with a curse on occasion.

"Back in my day all the descending trails were uphills! You yunguns wouldn't cut it - you'd run crying home to your moms!"

Chainsaw Squirrel knows that electric saws draw less attention when you're disposing of dog poop litterers.

I'm in the middle of a project that's going to culminate in some very large, rideable raccoons. So the next couple of weeks are going to be very busy! But soon I'll start dabbling in other comic formats, and I've also got some stickers and other swag coming. I hope your tires are holding air and that you're getting plenty of rides in.
