Clearly, he was "presented with an opportunity to copulate."

Walking Cyclist & Selfless Male Cyclist
To disable ads, please log-in.
I got off the light rail transit here after work and walked half a km. to the bike store. On my way, I wore my mountain bike cycling shoes, helmet, and carried my 2 panniers. I was going to pick up my repaired bike (drive train was completely replaced) and ride it home.
A cycling guy detoured abit and asked me if I was ok since I didn't have my bike with me.
I thanked him nicely and so no, I was going to get my bike at the shop after it was repaired.
I was flummoxed by his selflessness.My Personal blog on cycling & other favourite passions.

Believe me, I wasn't cycling chic lovely.
And obscured by wearing sunglasses and helmet as I walked along.
Not even as elegant as I was a few days ago in my business jacket and black jeans.My Personal blog on cycling & other favourite passions.

It was very nice of him to try to help you out. I have done this many times for cyclists and hope that some day when I really need a ride, someone will be there for me.

I've also many times offered to help others, and had other cyclists offer to help me. Cyclists seem to watch out for each other. Originally Posted by spokewench

LOL. That probably explains a lot. Originally Posted by Susan

+1. I think it's just part of two-wheel etiquette. Motorcyclists generally will do the same. I won't stop if someone's on the phone or obviously has everything under control, but if there's a question in my mind, I'll at least make a hand gesture or ask whether they have everything they need.

I've seen the same thing and had people ask if I was okay. As a result I also try to make sure someone is okay even if they don't look hurt. You never know. Originally Posted by PamNY
