	Description:		From donkeys in the Oman desert to a kangaroo take-down at the Tour Down Under, the 2026 racing season is off to a wild start. But the real creature chaos starts when Levy tells the story of being hunted through the woods by something he can't quite explain. This week, we also have a heated discussion on whether the push for hi-viz apparel is actually a form of victim blaming that ignores the real dangers of the road. Plus, we discuss the new Garmin RearVue 820 and how its same-speed tracking effectively turns it into a high-tech drafting sensor for catching wheel-suckers. 00:00 – Intro 00:35 – Wildlife Chaos: Donkeys and Gazelles in Oman 04:25 – Wildlife Chaos: Kangaroos at the Tour Down Under 05:53 – Hazardous Animal Encounters: Dogs and Bee Stings 08:09 – Hazardous Animal Encounters: Locusts and Tarantulas 09:26 – Levy’s Mystery Woods Encounter (The Bigfoot Story) 13:55 – Listener Q&A: The Cost of Campagnolo Batteries 17:41 – Listener Q&A: Electronic Drivetrains and "E-Waste" 23:53 – Listener Q&A: Lower Tier and Chinese Group Sets 29:54 – Garmin RearVue 820: The Drafting Sensor Hack 47:15 – The Ethics of Safety: Is Hi-Viz Just Victim Blaming?
