Video: A bull steals a bike on the side streets of India

Tourists travelling through the streets of India might be warned to watch out for livestock roaming around. 

However, most South Africans are not unfamiliar with this. Many residential areas in KZN have cows roaming the streets and grazing on the sidewalks. 

While it may be a familiar sight to some, we doubt anyone would believe that any of these cows or bulls are capable of theft. You might think it's absurd to even mention, but after seeing a video of a bull going for a joyride on a scooter, we think it's possible.

The video shared on X shows a bull commandeering a scooter parked outside a building on a street in Rishikesh, India. 

The bull propped its front legs onto the scooter and rode it down the road like a skateboard.

Watch the video below from X. 

The translated text on the video reads: "You must have seen people stealing scooters many times, but the case of scooter theft in Rishikesh is different. Here, even the stray bulls roaming in the streets are fond of bikes and scooters."

P.S. Notice how the mother and child on the left react to the bull. It seemed like she preempted that things might go haywire.
