WATCH: Brilliant footage shows cyclists stopping mid-ride to help deliver calf on side of road

What a great bunch…

A group of Spanish cyclists are receiving praise online after they took time away from their bike ride to help a distressed cow they saw on the side of the road.

The video was uploaded yesterday by Carlos Gomez, brought to our attention by The Sticky Bottle, and shows his friend Faraldo and a group of cyclists helping to deliver a calf on the side of the road.

Faraldo stripped down and is clearly a man experienced with animals and cattle as he shoves his hand in and pulls out the calf.

As the video describes, Faraldo and the other cyclists’ actions saved the calf from certain death.

The video below doesn’t leave a whole lot to the imagination however, so if you’re squeamish by nature, it’s probably better to avoid watching it.
