A friendly bunch

Got caught with a puncture this afternoon, and of the three individual cyclists that went by while I was swapping the tube two stopped and asked if I needed any help or equipment.
I was self sufficient but it warms the heart that they thought to ask.
I don't expect them to see this, but if you were cycling through Hale/Hale Barns today and stopped to help the guy in the Team Pie jersey.....thank you!

I waved as I rode by if thats any consolation?

I usually ask, unless I see the person is clearly in getting-on-with-it mode.

I usually ask but keep rolling just incase they happen to say 'yes please'...

If I'm not under time pressure then I tend to ask if people need help if they look like they need it- most recently being today when off the front of a club ride at the top of a hill. Luckily I've not had to stop for several years

Always ask but hope for the persons sake they don't say yes, as I'm feck all help bar carrying the tools!

Ah, the good at heart thread... we haven't seen one of these in a while... I have stopped to give directions and on occasions to allow old folks to cross the roads... I'm so so good... 8)

Back OT...I stopped to help someone having trouble with a clicking noise on their bike, I wasn't even on my bike that day, I walked alongside whilst he rode along, turned out to be a loose spoke.
