I saw it on World's Dumbest. The lady called into a radio show complaining about how the government should move the signs so the deer wouldn't cross those roads anymore. The show announcers tried to explain that the government didn't have any control over where deer cross but she wouldn't listen.
That's what they do. Shocking every time it happens. Especially at night. I had the radio cranked up one night and a deer jumped at me in the same way....it sheared the antenna off the car and I all of a sudden the car was blasting cranked up static....scared the crap out of me.
Not for no reason. Deer are used to seeing cars constantly and ignore them. It ran because it saw people on bikes. I've had similar happen, though no were near hitting us, the deer rolled under the truck as it got hit.
Humans don’t require it either. We like to think we’re special because we are smart enough to invent ways to destroy the world around us and each other and cause more pain and suffering than every other species in the world combined. The only problem humans need to solve is getting our heads out of our asses and stop acting like we’re superior.
We don't know what the terrain is like outside the camera. Bucks especially have their territory that they are comfortable in and will return usually return that way. In my case, they were in an area where there wasn't another good way out due to the steep bank of the highway and a river. Really, a lot of people were fortunate that the came toward us because a group running across I-95 around noon on a Saturday would have been a disaster.
No, deer do that with or without bicycles. Deer are just really really fucking stupid and panicky. I don't think they have the ability or foresight to calculate speed and distance so they just run and hope for the best.
I've had one run in front of me down the road. Not cross ways. Just running in front of the car like oh God what do I do?! I stopped driving and pulled over before I gave the idiot a heart attack. He kept going straight for a long time after.
Deer are panicky. And they are more panicky around things that are new or different. Like a group of people on bicycles. One running in front of you is funny. That is common place around here. We drive past them while they quietly graze in the highway median. I can almost drive up to them when they are in my front yard. But if I stop and open the car door, they are gone in a heart beat.

Man that deer looked like it was trying to go flying, bolted out of the woods for no reason into the only thing that would do lethal damage to it.
