The bicycle has once again proven its incredible versatility. Not only is it the most efficient transportation form on the planet, suitable for work commutes, transporting heavy loads, rescue work, and combating obesity and global warming – apparently the bicycle also excels at repelling tigers.
As the Times of India reports, Balaji Vithoba Khode was riding past a water canal during his evening commute between Mangrud and Talodi, India when he was attacked by a tigress.
From the Times of India:
"Kohde was caught unawares when the tigress suddenly appeared on the scene. He managed to protect himself with his bicycle. Still, he received minor injuries on his head. He was taken to the nearest primary health centre (PHC) where he was discharged after preliminary treatment," said Rahul Sorte, Talodi range forest officer (RFO) in the Brahmapuri Forest Division. "Kohde is out of danger," he claimed.
