WATCH: Man's quick reflexes save a girl from ramming into a pole!
That was what we call razor sharp timing...
Learning how to ride a bike can be a tricky yet memorable moment in one's life.
It is sort of a milestone and has more to do with life than we give it credit for.
Learning to find your balance, then being able to steer whilst also pedalling is certainly a lot to pick up on in one go.
Mastering the skill of riding a bike is something that is generally associated as a rite of passage of sorts, so we are fearful that perhaps this child did not have the proper guidance in her tutelage.
In a video showing a street side view of some men and a kid standing chatting to each other, we see one man veer his focus to the other side of the street.
To what, we cannot see, but he rushes in anticipation and with a sense of urgency.
He is seen sitting on his own bicycle and jumps off, hurting himself in the process.
Then all of sudden we see a young girl on her bike heading straight for the light pole.
She was coming at such a speed that it would've been difficult for her to change direction without getting hurt.
But the man managed to time his save so well, his reflexes really kicked in as he grabbed her just in time before she hit the pole head on.
