Moab Posted June 5, 2009 Share My rant for the week: So yesterday whilst on the way home some dumb cyclist had a crash. Person was all bloodied and looked um rather gross. Now, those dim motorists always moan about us being on the road and our actions but when a commuter crashed how many of them stopped? Zip. Nadda. Come on people! This person had a bad crash and looked , surely someone should have stopped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porky Posted June 5, 2009 Share Question is did you stop.? If you did great. If you didnt, well...............! Anyway, I hear you, but its just a sad reflection of the times, as long as it dont involve us, we dont care, gotta fetch the kids, see the client,clean the house, finish the dinner,help with homework, traffic is hectic, busy,busy,busy............................!

Surely some twot faced male would have loved to stop for the damsel in distress?? Joke is that, fine if there was no where to pull over, good excuse but hello... have you seen Bowling Avenue? On the left is just dirt (where the cyclist fell). Anyone here see the fall? I stopped but was unable to assist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudsimus Posted June 5, 2009 Share Yeah right. If you stop she'll want you to take her to a hospital and she'll get blood all over your seats. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moab Posted June 5, 2009 Share Yeah right. If you stop she'll want you to take her to a hospital and she'll get blood all over your seats. No thanks. So, you would not have stopped? Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pastapouch Posted June 5, 2009 Share sad, actually. even when 70% of RSA claims they're Christians, they show no respect for other's lives or give them a little space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nialls101 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Religion has nothing to do with it. It's more to do with the way you get brought up. I carry a medical kit with gloves in case of an accident and there's blood.Nanosec Nialls2009-06-05 01:36:48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I carry a medical kit with gloves in case of an accident and there's blood. but religion is part of the way you're brought up up... but don't let us get into a fight because of it. If you're a bunch of thugs, religion or not, you're gonna be a thug! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moab Posted June 5, 2009 Share Was just talking to some colleagues about this... the one girl's dad had a major fall once whilst mtb-ing and also no one stopped. He stopped cycling. One of reps just said she has stopped for a cyclist who was all bloodified and helped them. She drives a car. No worries about the gore. She is just happy that she could help that person. That is big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted June 5, 2009 Share I agree, it is about what you are taught and the manner in which you were raised but it seems lately that everyone has a don't care attitude!! Really saddens me as to what society has become! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappa Bear Posted June 5, 2009 Share I carry a Medi Kit in my CamelBak....... Used it about 3 times for fellow MTBers that couldn't keep the rubber side down.... Till now I was lucky :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyOwl3.0 Posted June 5, 2009 Share I suppose we would all stop coz we are all aware of how it feels to bite the tar/dirt. I was hit by a taxi on Louis Botha years ago, and ironically it was another Taxi driver that stopped to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastapouch Posted June 5, 2009 Share Came off one early morning broke the helmet , bent the handlebars, only a black guy in a merc slowed down to ask , 'Meneer, is jy ok, kan ek help' -- the whites just flew past... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
