I just read some articles about that Buzzard... geesh! we have it easy out here.... taking chunks out of helmets and ripping bits of flesh off...... sounds almost as bad as mountain biking over in the california bush and having to be aware of Bobcats and the like.SteveA said:Just smile and be thankful you don't cycle near Halwill juction in Devon in the UK where a BUZZARD has been dive bombing cyclists (reported in Cycling+ August 2005).
(The Buzzard is a species of hawk which grows to 43 to 53 cm tall and can have a wing span between 1.2 and 1.5 metres - and it has a serious beak for ripping flesh apart!)
Suddenly magpies look attractive.

Nah, doesn't work. I thought it did, coz the regular swooper didn't come close after I put them on, but then I went riding on a different route and a different bugger was dead set on trying to kill me. I do have a nice marty the martian look thoughRay Peace said:Greetings,
Attach a couple of large cable ties to the rear of the helmet. It
doesn't stop them bombing, but when they get close enough to hit you, it
confuses hell out of them and they break off the attack. Or at least
that's the theory. I'm not sure, a few bombed me this season, but not
severely, so the jury is still out on that one.
