A cyclist got more than he bargained for when he reached out to pat a wild horse.

The man, who was mountain biking with a group, tried to pat one of the horses when it lashed out and clamped its mouth around his arm.

“Petting them (trying, to be more precise) wasn’t the best of ideas we had that day,” YouTube user DrAlexeyvich wrote. [9News]

Another point for nature! Look at this dumbass just walking right up to a WILD HORSE with his hand out like the horse isn’t going to just bite it right off his arm. Guy didn’t even offer it a sugar cube or something. Just more proof that the animal knows bicyclists are hypocrites who don’t actually give two shits about nature.

The best part is that this guy definitely has no idea why he got bit. He’s probably telling his friends “MAN I SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN WEARING PURPLE, EVERYONE KNOWS HORSES HATE PURPLE.” Bro horses hate bicyclists. So does everyone else.

PS. Nice spandex shorts, asshole.
