It's really delicate for us, cyclists, encountering this kind of unusual traffic. Thanks for this, I had fun reading. The article is somewhat hilarious.

Where does an elephant cross the road?

Anywhere he wants.

Cute story... I'm not sure I'd like to be the cyclist being run down by a charging elephant.

At least the elephants seem to have learned about road safety. It sounds like quite a smart animal, or group of animals.

I've heard that kangaroos have an entirely different approach to crossing roads.

I was about to agree 100%. Until I noticed the kind of bike the guy is riding.

Old steel bike, and he can't seem to keep the feet on the pedals.

I still would be pedaling for all it is worth.

A dog can be bad, but an angry elephant?
