I loved the moral at the end--"This is why you wear a helmet!"

Actually, three riders were seriously injured by deer in Michigan, in two separate incidents, a couple years ago.

Very fortunate it wasn't a cheetah or lion.

*Link gets out his bow and arrow and prepares to shoot a deer when the deer jumps out at cyclist and the shoots the arrow at deer's head before the deer hits the cyclist after the jump*

LOL! Pardon me. I'm a huge fan of Legend of Zelda.

That was not an American deer. The horns are like a African deer. I believe it to be an accidental encounter The horns would have been down if it was attacking ??? When the dear jumped it was trying to avoid the collision.

OR someone trained the dear to take out a cyclist and a whole gallery of spectators paid to watch it. ( )

Yeah the youtube vid says "Africa" right on it... probably lucky it wasn't some predator.

Buck was on the right as both arrived at the intersection at the same time. Therefore, buck had the right of way and the cyclist failed to yield = cyclist fault.
