strangest thing you've seen on a ride/run

And you think YOUR neighborhoods are weird...

This was right around 10am on a weekday, about a week and a half ago. And no, I don't know any of these people.

The strangest thing I've seen is how low my speed is

I was riding on a quiet country road and saw a child's stuffed animal, sitting on the side of the road.  As I approached it, I noticed it moved, ever so slightly then just as I was about to pass it, I lunged directly in front of me across my front wheel.  

I screamed very loudly and almost wrecked my bike.  As I looked to my left, I saw two kids with a fishing pole, which I assume the toy was connected to, laughing very loudly.  

Those kids are probably going to get in trouble a lot as they grow up but that is totally awesome.

I lived in Japan for a few years teaching English... Because of my strange work schedule I often ran late at night. 

Once when I was in the middle of a run some guy stopped his car and from what I could understand tried to proposition me... I think he was offering money.. Crazy.. 

OMFG that's hilarious! Personally,  I'd have been soooo pissed. 

I live in the country, so lots of animals around -- one time I rode past a ranch and saw about a dozen horses cows in a mini-stampede.  To this day I'm convinced they were racing me.

Seeing a deer or a moose is pretty common when I ride, but one time I saw 2 deer and 3 moose (mom and two calves) hanging out together.  A scene right out of Bambi.

(Edited to replace horses with cows -- no wonder I was able to stay competitive with them)

I've seen a variety of wildlife: bobcat, coyote, alligator, numerous snakes, possum, and if you want to speed up, a skunk at the middle school track at 5:30 in the morning.  A few homeless guys live in the park under a bridge where I sometimes run.  From the bridge underpass I have seen dolphin and manatee.  Riding the bike home I have been buzzed by an eagle. I am in a fairly out of the way area.

Think I've posted a lot about this before but not sure I shared the ride ones. It would have to be from a ride outside Saigon last spring--a man coming toward us (going the wrong way) in the motorbike lane on a motorbike with Grandma strapped into a wheelchair which was somehow attached to the motorbike. Grannie was strapped in but did not appear to be enjoying the ride.

Mom and I were just reminiscing about crazy bike tours and we both remember the "harvester" in rural Hungary--some kind of farm machine which involved about ten people lying prone and harvesting (beets?) which was driven thru the field while music blared from it. Then there was the portly couple mowing their lawn in their birthday suits, in some little village in the Czech Republic.

Well in my summer of running I've seen a handful of deer, including 3 bucks in the suburban area where I live.  Deer hunting in rural farm land, only 1 buck.  All the smart deer live in the suburbs.
