Monster Crosser vs deerVideo: Cyclocrosser gets taken out by a deer
Normally the hardest obstacle you'll need to navigate at the local 'cross race is a wooden hurdle or a steep grassy bank. Although, of course, the former of those has proved itself pretty tricky in the past.
But throw in a moving obstacle and things can get a bit tricky. We present footage from a Monster Cross race in Chesterfield, Virginia. You'd need a quick dismount to hop that one.
Okay it's not quite in the same league as a mountain biker getting taken out by an antelope. But still worth a watch.
Dave is a founding father of road.cc, having previously worked on Cycling Plus and What Mountain Bike magazines back in the day. He also writes about e-bikes for our sister publication ebiketips. He's won three mountain bike bog snorkelling World Championships, and races at the back of the third cats.

Must have been difficult for the police to decide whether to prosecute the red light jumpers or the pavement cyclist. I guess it's £50 vs £30 FPN,...

Same here - it took me by surprise. 10:30am doesn't feel like a dangerous time to cycle; apparently I'm wrong on that.

That would make you cross!
Geddit?
"I'm here all week, try the venison"
Looks like rain dear! (reindeer?!)
Was he not looking, he just had no idea! (no eye deer?!)
I'm here all week!!
Could have been worse. Eek, an Elk.
Doh! a dear...
Press 7 while watching to skip to the slow-mo replay at the crucial moment. It looks like the deer attempted to jump over the rider's front wheel, but miscalculated. It just goes to show that standards are slipping in physics classes in the cervine world.
poor deer...
No, dear, it's "oh dear".
I wonder what the damage to the bike was, didn't look like he was going anywhere soon. Broken spoke sounds when he lifted it up.
The thing I love about CX racing, Everyone just kept going. None of this "man down" lets pace him back on
