Cyclist spots a herd of cows running towards him. Here's what he did next
The man was seen helping a farmer to stop the cows. Many people appreciated the cyclist's efforts.
Cyclist Andrew O'Connor was taking a break from his bike ride at the bottom of Great Dun Fell, England's second-highest mountain when he noticed a herd of cows approaching him. When he realised that the cows were not in the mood to stop their run, he had to take matters into his own hands.
O'Connor shared a video of this incident on Instagram. The clip shows him enjoying some snacks during his break. As he noticed cows running in his direction, he initially thought they might be heading for a nearby farm. However, to his surprise, he soon heard a desperate cry from a farmer who could be heard screaming and asking for O'Connor's help to stop the cows.

Once O'Connor realised what the farmer was saying, he stood in front of the herd and yelled at them to stop.
In the caption of the post, the cyclist wrote that this was one of the strangest things that had happened to him while on a bike ride.
