The Non Helpers Club.

[Vetseun]

This fred is in no way an effort to get the old roadie vs mtb debate going .... again.

I know many roadies that would have stopped, because they understand the sport.

There are noobs out there that seen to think that you are something special if you climb on a bike. They think that if you greet them that you are wanting to rape them or something.

Im sure that they will eventually catch on.

So, after yesterday, I cannot help wondering whether you are now also packing a spare tube?

[Gen]

Well if you were riding the ottosdal race yesterday and had your issues with your tire. I wouldn't been able to help you either, cause both hubby and I gave our spare tubes to people that looked very despondent the route.. shees I have never seen so many people with flats as I did yesterday.

i once gave my only bomb to a guy who needed it when I was out riding with no pump, hoping Karma pays me back via the Lotto someday

Blooming hell. You okes stay in crappy place. Condolences.

2 weeks ago I had a flat tire. In in the process of putting in my SPARE TUBE, I broke off the tip of the fiddly presta valve. In the next 2 km's of walking, 2 cyclists stopped and asked if they could help. And 3 cars stopped and asked if they could help. 2 of them were bakkies offering to take me home. (Only one of the cyclists and one motorist knew me.) But I had already summoned the cavalry to come and pick me up (wife)

 

On the Barberton race this weekend I snapped my chain 2km's before the end. Too much hassle to insert a quick link. Easier to run in. Another cyclist stopped and offered to PUSH me in to the end. Now there. Thanks buddy.

SNIP..., I puncture rear wheel..

I dont have a pump with me only a bomb.

 

....SNIP....

 

I try to call the woman who calls herself my wife, she is still sleeping, her phone is off.

 

Vettes, I blame YOUR WIFE!!! WTF!!! keeping her phone off like that....AND WHY THE HECK DID SHE NOT PACK YOUR SPARES CORRECTLY?? Surely you would not have willingly go ride without a pump and spare tube etc.???

Fire her ass, I'd say!! She's not a good team manager...

:whistling:

I'm thinking the "wife" is maybe the inflatable type that can't answer phones or drive:)

Been burnt too many times to help anymore....chainlinks, tubes, plugs, boots

 

It just simply cost to much to be the good guy....so I am in the non-helpers club

If I came unstuck through my own fault and wanted help, I would have asked.

Yip, but that knife cuts both ways...I don't expect or ask for help either...Kukked on chukky's head at j2c last year when I was battling with a sidewall cut on day7... told him straight up..."GOOOOO boet....don't look behind you, I will be fine...see you in the beer tent"
