Ive come upon a group of wild turkeys who refused to cede the right-of-way. More a memorable bird experience than a bad one.
I've had situations (off bike) when I was charged by aggressive geese who were trying to steal my lunch. I tried imitating their aggressive behavior and it worked. Notice how they raise up, flap their wings and hiss.
I charged and hissed and flapped my arms like wings - like a bigger goose. In each case, the goose charging me backed off, and other geese nearby took the hint. Then I was able to eat lunch in peace. Your mileage may vary...
Next time get one of them to shoot a video of the incident on your phone please. :)
In the incidents I had, the geese came up quickly and I didn't really have room to escape. I did my best to be as intimidating as possible.
Geese are jerks. I've turned around and found a different path - trying to avoid them completely. Glad you are ok.
