Video: 4-year-old cyclist goes viral after lorry driver signal

When this small girl - on her trailer bike behind her father's bike on the open road - met this huge lorry, the moment was recorded and has since gone absolutely bonkers online.

 

A 4-year-old girl is going viral online and has proven a hit with the media after signalling her approval to a passing lorry driver.

Rhoda Jones was riding her trailer bike on the back of her father Tom’s bike with a camera recording.

When a large lorry came from behind them to pass, the driver played a blinder.

He took his time until he had a clear opportunity to overtake. And when he did he gave father and daughter as much space as was physically possible on the road.

Rhoda signalled her approval with a very confident thumbs up to the driver.

And when the family went through the recording later and shared the thumbs up clip, it went viral.

The video in the original Tweet has been viewed over 800,000 times at the time of writing. Furthermore, it has been re-Tweeted 9,000 times.

Mainstream media outlets such as the BBC and ITV have all picked up on the story.

“So often we see or share videos of awful driving around cyclists,” the family said in a message when sharing the video of their child star cyclist.

“So this textbook pass from an exceptionally patient and careful HGV driver for D&W Agri coming into Jedburgh deserves sharing, as does Rhoda's response.
