I carry a granola bar on my physical therapy bike rides to give to any wild feral humans I encounter. There are a lot. Midway through my ride crosses the point where a charity usual does a dinner handout in the evenings. If they miss a day, there are a bunch of people searching through the trash cans and stuff. So I try to have something to hand them.
With my disability over the last 12 years, I'm vulnerable to issues on the bike if I have problems or something breaks. So I'm super prepared and help people all the time in general.
When there is wildlife around I'll stop and flag anyone down to make sure the animal is fine or doesn't hurt anyone, like with snakes. I'm also obnoxious on a bike and do not hesitate to call out to people or animals when I pass them, so I rarely hit anything. I'm still strong enough to bunny hop on a bike to miss stuff like large snakes on the bike trail, but that risks injury to my neck and back.
