Around here we get these bad boys (Western Capercaillie) out on the trails when it’s mating season.
Think of it as a 12 pound , bad tempered, horny chicken with no sense of scale (it believes itself to be much bigger than it is) and it firmly believes it owns the trail you’re on and it will. not. move.
And that beak, man. Dangerous stuff.
There is a meme here I think
They call an $1800, 10 speed deore, with mostly bontager components and 23 pounds weight “cheap thrills”
Maybe someone should tell them they can get a better spec bike for less… 
Seems to be a bad product placement/advertisement…
Not according to the note at the bottom of the article:
This author may just be “new” to the current world of bike tech and thought it would be interesting to their regular readers. That and I can envision them touching on bike articles in a hope to pull in outside readers to their site, via searches or other linked recommendations via social media than the like.
Hah! Around here it’s chipmunks. I saw one do a revolution on a road bike wheel and shoot out the other side. Occasionally they don’t survive and rarely will take a rider down if they don’t time the ride well enough and get run over. They are apparently squishy at high speeds…
No bike joke but quick interlude as we’re on squirrels…
In Lycra? 
Ha! Can we substitute “Cyclocross race” for “Ride”?
This is such a personal attack, I’ll just cry myself to sleep now😂
Squirrel?! Did someone say squirrel? Allow me to present the ACORN and its critical squirrel scouts.
Iranian police has captured 14 “spy squirrels” equipped with modern technology including GPS units, cameras, and listening devices.
The report said that the squirrels that were trained for espionage and information-gathering, are believed to be sent to Iran by Israel.
It’s like the guy spent too much time riding the trails and turned into a tree
