Cyclists were on the roads of Cape Point Nature Park in Cape Town, South Africa, when they were joined by an unexpected participant: an intrepid ostrich.

According to the video’s author, the bird immediately saw who was the most worthy rival and started a race with the leader of the squad, Ben. The author explains that no one can reach Ben, at least among humans.

The man balanced his bicycle as he recorded the video with one hand. In fact, at one point the camera shakes because the ostrich made a sudden maneuver in the direction of it, so the author of the video had to hold on to its steering wheel.

In the end, Ben stepped on the accelerator and the ostrich decided not to continue as it was getting boring, that’s when he retreated to the African grasslands.
