Helping fellow cyclists?? Roadies v MTB'ers

[stephec]

I always stop and ask.

I once ended up sorting out a nice young lady's rear indexing on her supermarket mtb, the smile I received when I'd finished was all the reward you could want.

Most blokes just say no though.

I have been asked quite regularly if I need help and it always puts a smile on my face

If someone looks lost or in trouble I will ask. Last week a guy looked really lost, he was standing looking at direction signs all perplexed and I asked if he needed directions? His, rather rude, response was finished with 'I cycle 190 miles a week you know' and launched into a tirade of how awesome he is on two wheels. Sorry mate, couldn't really give a flying duck and I left. Puts me off helping when people can be rude in response.

Yes, if you raise similarly obscure issues with the "casualty" that you raise on the forum, I think there may be a possibility of you getting in the way.

Nah it's just confidence around a bike. I'm not that technical

All I did was fiddle around for a couple of minutes and it was job done.

She seemed quite happy with it anyway.
