Fortunately the squirrel's reflexes or dominant response or dumb luck were
more up to the task than my braking. It was unscathed.

I think that calling the instinctive back-pedaling an example of Zajonc
solution would not be
accurate, since there was no one else around except the squirrel. ;-) It
could, of course,
still be a dominant response. BTW, Michael,did the squirrel survive your
wheels? (That
is, did "whatever-we-decide-to-call-it" work?)
