When I threw myself and my Scootehy down the road, people just drove around me as I lay there.
I was inexperienced and stupid though, so I'm not sure I blame them. ____________________ The above post is most likely nonsensical.

If you're giving him a forced verbal teffening about less power then I can't see him wanting you to hang around.
Could have asked if he wants you to call an ambulance for him. |

When I was t-boned off my bike, at a massively busy London crossroads by a red light running cyclist, the balance of the universe was at least partially corrected when a different cyclist (and a passing shambler) stopped and helped me lift the bike.

I've stopped once on the A13 to pick another biker up, I saw the stranded bike, and 200m further up the road was the owner trudging along - so I gave him a lift to the BP a couple of miles up the road [where he bought a fuel can and some fuel] and back to his bike and made myself 15 mins late for work into the bargain.
Would I do it again? Probably not whilst commuting. I know it's a bit petty, but I've been stranded four times since then (twice fuel, twice tyres), and not once has someone stopped to ask if they could help (despite a huge number of bikes using that route) - so survival of the fittest seems to be the order of the day...
(Although if I were out on a leisure ride (or _incredibly_ early for work), then I probably still would) ____________________ '12 NC700S & '12 CB600F Hornet [Stolen by some dickless twat] Suzuki GT500 shed |

If I had a penny for every time someone stopped to see if I'm okay, when I've only pulled over to have a ciggy, I'd be a rich man. Well, not really but, you get the picture.
It's actually gotten to the point now that I try and find somewhere out of sight.
Sods law is though, that come the time I do need help, not a single soul will bother. ____________________ There ain't no devil, there's just god when he's drunk.
