Beep beep! Watch ostrich chase down cyclists at 30mph
Cyclists typically have to share the road with cars and joggers, but you wouldn't ever think they'd have to ride with an ostrich.
In South Africa during a race, a huge ostrich appeared out of nowhere and began chasing down a biker.
The cyclist estimates that the riders in front of him were going 35 miles per hour and it's shocking to see the ostrich keep up the pace.
Oleksiy Mishchenko posted the video on YouTube with this caption:
"We came down to South Africa for the Cape Argus Tour. It is the biggest cycling event in the world, probably.
On Friday, to stretch out the legs we went on pre-race ride to the Cape of Good Hope . The road by the ocean side was quiet and a lille (sic) deserted.
Suddenly, I spotted a white ostrich on my left, then this beast jumped on the road from the right and started chasing my friends! It was a little scary at first, but then I thought I gonna fell (sic) of my bike from laughter. The ostrich didn't have any problem to keep up at 50km/h and apparently they do 70km/h with no sweat.
Luckily the creature decided to leave us alone, as we were running out of road. The Cape of Good hope is a dead end way.
My guess he wanted to show off in front of his girlfriend, i bet she was very impressed!"
