I've done this too. When I was in college, (see Roman invasion AD43) I once had someone ask if I could follow them because they had forgotten there lights! She was very attractive too.... WAIT A MINUTE there could have been more going on there... dam it :tongue:

Bugger huh!! I did a similar thing following a female cyclist a while ago! very attractive too! She had lights, but her skirt was flowing over the rear one so I followed her for a bit until safe to pull aside her and told her about it, then I promptly showed her my masculininty and cycling prowless and cycled off!! Darn!! She was very happy but a bit susprised! Oh well, it was a good deed!

Should I feel guilty about my reaction? They didn’t actually get hurt and it may have been a lesson which if heeded will pay dividend latter in life.

It is Darwinian theory in practice. You don't need to feel bad at all.

Sorry, its not actually. The theory only applies to species over many generations and not individuals.

It quite wrong and gets my goat the way it is mis-used.

Same with rocket science. Its actually very simple. Force a lot fuel through the right sized apeture and ignite it. Yet eveyone persists in using it as a similie for difficulty.

But quite right on this bit. Its hard enough protecting one's self on the highway to worry about the unitended consequence of your care on others because of their lack of it.

Eh? Failure of the organisms least well adapted to surroundings is at the very heart of natural selection. Idiots who don't protect themselves get squished and consequently removed from the gene pool, leaving those of us with more sense to go at it like rabbits and fill the world with conscientious and careful offspring. Repeat this process and eventually the world becomes a cycling Nirvana, exactly as Darwin suggested.
