Eventhough this must have been quite frightening at the time, we cant help but share a little giggle while watching this.


According to Oleksiy Mishchenko, who posted the video on YouTube, he visited South Africa with a few friends to take part in the annual Cape Town Cycle Tour. Mishchenko commented and said: 


"On Friday, to stretch out the legs, we went on a pre-race ride to the Cape of Good Hope. The road by the ocean side was quiet and 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," Mishchenko described the situation.


Well, ostrich or no ostrich, whatever comes jumping out of the bush, we will run or in this case, pedal - FAST!
