That was pretty cool! Didn't look like much of a contest for the peregrine, how many times did she catch up with him and make passes? I think this video also shows how good a peregrine would be flying off the fist in pursuit flights, like they do on crows off horseback in England.

Watch this one, it's how they did the camera work.

As someone who pursues both sports, it was brilliant. Thanks for the post.

I was really hoping that the bird took him off the bike....

While it was a cool video. Was I the only one who wondered about the things that could have gone wrong? These types of videos seem to try and keep pushing the envelope and eventually somebody, or some animal will pay for it. If and eagle can get killed by a perceptually slow moving wind turbine blade, it seems that spoke on a bike could do it just as easy. I just hate seeing animals put in jeopardy just to make a video.

Yes, every time that guy jumped a hill and got some air I held my breath hoping that bird didn't get smacked by a tire or spokes.
