Cyclists chased by a hell-bent ostrich


 
Cyclists competing in the Cape Argus Tour in South Africa were chased by what appears to be a hell-bent ostrich on methamphetamines. It’s actually pretty comical to watch the bird pull a Road Runner and keep up with the cyclists. I had no idea they could run that fast!

From the YouTube description:

On Friday, to stretch out the legs we went on pre-race ride [~130km why not?] to the Cape of Good Hope [I love this name!]. The road by the ocean side was quiet and a little 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 was gonna fall off my bike from laughter. The ostrich didn’t have any problem keeping at up at 50km/h and apparently they do 70km/h with no sweat.

If I had to place a bet on who finished the pre-race ride first, I’d go with the ostrich.
