Vetplant Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Good on you Cyclist really typically look out for each other. Did a MTB event this weekend, had 2 punctures. Out of the 20 odd people who passed me only 1 or 2 did not ask if I was OK. It almost became an irritation, but I'd rather "suffer" through the constant questions as opposed to nobody being willing to help when you need something. So in the same breath, thanks to the whole lot of guys offering support at the Lydenburg MTB race, julle is lekker ouens!
Frail. "Will forever remain "Frail" Posted March 29, 2018 Author Posted March 29, 2018 I was just behind a Chap for about 2km`s.Then a second guy passed me. On seeing the stranded guy the other 2 guys were already gone.All his spare tubes had been used up. He was busy phoning someone for a lift, But I thought why the unnecessary trouble.

Funny, I've yet to hear the 'why do you carry so much stuff' comment that gets knocked about in the car park when I'm handing over a tube, plug or bomb trailside.
Cube120 Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 MTBikers always offer assistance when they see a fellow rider stopped..not often with the roadies.But i had an incident a while back on the " circuit" in Durbs one morning..after 3 flats i gave up.2 riders stopped and INSISTED on helping me out and i never got any details.But the lesson from this is always ask if help is needed and let the rider opt to say no.Dont ride off without offering.simple rule to follow.
