Ask any cyclist if they’ve seen something strange on their commute, and they will surely have a story that would surprise you. We recently asked cyclists on Reddit and Facebook if they had encountered any strange things while out on a commute, and the answers did not disappoint.

CYCLING ENCOUNTERS

Another Reddit user had a close encounter with a beaver, saying, “I saw a beaver walking down the street in Seattle a couple of weeks ago. Big buck teeth, flat tail, the whole deal. This is the first time I have seen one up close; all the cartoons are really accurate.”

WILD ANIMALS

Reddit user Aintaword saw “Two people coming out of the woods, giggling and still putting their clothes on.” NxPat shared, “Years back, I was touring in Japan, a rural area. I found four middle-aged couples dancing naked around a giant stuffed panda. I got back on the bike as soon as I could and got out of there.”

WEIRD PEOPLE

A Reddit user shares, “I saw a handgun in the bike lane. I stopped about 60’ away and called dispatch. I waited for an officer to show up. I later asked a friend from PD what the story was, and the gun was stolen from another town.”
