Australia swooping season can be a nervous time on a bike. Here’s how these crafty creatures defend their territory and my tips to coexist with them for the few weeks of the year they’re on the attack! Remember to click SUBSCRIBE to support this YouTube channel:

Six Tips:
1 – If you’re in a group, don’t ride at the back. Let someone else take the hit! 🙂
2 – Cover your ears – They love a good ear scratch.
3 – Cover your neck – Another scratch zone.
4 – Sunglasses – Although they almost always attack from behind. Protect them anyway.
6 – Make eye contact – They won’t swoop, or come too close if you’re looking at them.
6 – Raise a hand – That’s usually all it’ll take to keep them off your back, literally.
