November 10, 2023

In the world of cycling, one rider recently experienced a heart-stopping moment that defies the ordinary – a near miss with a deer that seemed to have sprouted wings.

A group of cyclists at the Gran Fondo Hincapie in Greenville, South Carolina, were left stunned after witnessing a deer "fly" over the road, grazing one of the cyclists who, fortunately, was equipped with a headcam and managed to capture the incident on camera.

Always wear a helmet while cycling. It's not just cars and potholes that you need to worry about!
