Silver Laguna driver - Bless you Sir

[ACS]

To the gentleman who stopped on the Denhead to Peat Inn road in a rural part of NE Fife this afternoon, to make sure I was alright, thank you for your consideration.
I gave a hamstring a sharp tug, honking up a hill and was forced to perform a rapid stop and abandonment, resulting in me dropping the bike on the grass verge while clutching the back of my left leg.
When I spoke to the driver of the Laguna to confirm that I was alright he mentioned that he was a cyclist.
So, on the off chance you read this. Thank you.

Hope you recovered quickly and got home ok. As far as the driver goes, there still are some gentlemen of the road!

I stopped and gave a cyclist a lift home once. Does that make me a Gentleman?

 

[Jane Smart]

Hope that you are ok today?

what a nice driver to do that. I have had a couple of gents stop and ask if I am ok on the cycle path and I was only blowing my nose There are some nice people out there

RR you are a gentleman I think you sold me a set a wheels once and for that one act of fiscal kindness I promote you.

There are still plenty of good eggs about.

I had a bloke in a car stop and make sure I was OK, offering to go home and get tools if needed, once when I was on the way to work: I was only fixing a puncture and had all I needed with me, but it was a nice offer nonetheless.

Also, a bloke in a van stopped to offer help once when I was faffing about in a little lane: I was only having a rest stop and tinkering with my computer but he stopped to make sure I was OK.

And all this in the Sarf East - not known for being friendly!!

Oh yes - I once filled my car with the wrong fuel (don't ask) got 200 yards up the road then conked out in the middle of a busy junction. During the 40 minutes I waited for the AA to tow me about 6 people stopped to offer help, including four pissed-up lads coming out of a pub (I declined) and one young lad in a chavvy car to whom I blurted something about the wrong fuel and who reappeared 10 minutes later with a can of fuel he'd gone and bought! Amazing!

That depends, do you still have them in your car boot or a homemade dungeon?

What a star, I salute that gentleman.

I was driving home a week or so ago, I could see that further up the bypass a cyclist had just pulled in to a bit where the verge is concrete not grass. I have in the past stopped there for a rest, but I noticed that as he stopped, and the bike went straight down on its side so I thought maybe there was a problem, though what use I am as a girlie non-technical type to a bloke in proper lycra on a proper road bike I don't know.
Anyway, as I got nearer I realised he'd not had any catastrophic mechanical issues, but instead he had urgently pulled over in order to scoff a load of blackberries from the hedge that runs alongside, so I ceased slowing down to offer assitance and made a mental note to stop there for fruit picking in future!

I was walking up a steep hill once (the Nick of Pendle) when a bunch of roadies came charging up the road so I pretended I was picking blackberries until they had gone.

I pretended I had cramp once when I was a beginner and couldn't manage a hill. I couldn't face the shame of telling the lycra adonis who stopped to ask if I was ok that I was just unfit.

I did that hill again last week and it's TINY.
