A cyclist has captured video of the moment she was knocked to the ground by a kangaroo while riding along one of Canberra's main arterial roads.
Bronwyn Calver was riding along Adelaide Avenue, between Parliament House and the Prime Minister's official residence, The Lodge, when the kangaroo jumped out in front of her bike on Monday night.
She suffered abrasions when she fell and received treatment from intensive care paramedics at the scene but escaped serious injury.
Ms Calver said she had no time to react when she saw the kangaroo.
"I just caught a glimpse of the roo before it hit my front tyre and I went down on my left side and he went off to the right," she said.
Canberra cyclist Bronwyn Calver escaped a collision with a kangaroo with minor injuries.
