Nice chap, also a cyclist, in a van stopped and gave me and the bike a lift to work when my chain snapped one morning. I was on the 'bent so a snapped chain is a bit more hassle than usual.

I was able to pay it forward last Friday. Out walking the dog, I met a chap who'd suffered several punctures and used up all the gas in his CO2 canisters. I nipped home and returned with a track pump to get him back on the road.

I chased a chap down to tell him his panniers had fallen off - fortunately it wasn't far to go back for them. To the nurse that stopped and kept my head still whilst I was on the floor with a badly broken spine - thanks a million ! (I knew it was bad - the pain was nothing I'd ever felt before). One of those occasions where my helmet didn't hit the floor, so helped massively in diagnosing no head injury (not a mark on it) - blimey did I get questioned. NO it's my BACK, not my NECK, not my HEAD, check the helmet.

Karma. Be kind and it will be returned, in one way or another, by someone.

Now, if you can just tell me about the causative link between the two actions......;)

I've helped endless strangers in all sorts of situations, and never yet had occasion to rely on someone else helping me. It might happen one day. It might not. I don't care..........I simply feel better about myself for helping out, and couldn't countenance the thought of wandering on past the French couple bogged ankle deep in sand in the Namib, or theTouregs with the broken down Land Rover in the Sahel, or the guy in Zambia who dropped all the cargo off his over-laden bike into the middle of a busy road, and so on. You help because you're human, not because it might one day, via some mysterious unscientific process, lead to someone helping you.
