I've occasionally encountered a strange arachnid phenomenon, usually while biking home at night. At some point I'll catch a glint of something in front of the headlight beam and find a strand of webbing has been strung between the handlebars like a little tight rope. I'm always pretty sure it wasn't there when I'd started the ride and I never have actually seen the source of the on-the-fly spinnings, but there they are. Awesome post Mack!
