[RBW] Re: Why Rivendell Riders are good People
Had to look the one up.. labrum- part of the shoulder. Sorry to hear about your crash and a new bike too. I agree, everyone I've met through the Rivendell is very nice and well mannered. I especially appreciate the "bike as a tool" attitude. Too may other groups think nothing of driving their car 20 miles just to ride it. ~Mike~ On Dec 7, 12:20 am, Rob Harrison wrote: > Oh man!

I see people 3 or 4 times a year with (bike) problems and ask if they need anything. I've had people ask me too. It's not all cyclists, or maybe even Rivendell people, but there's a certain type that stop and you can tell them just by looking at them.

Great that you fished something positive out of a tumble. Glad you're OK. The other day I was riding up Montezuma Rd toward SDSU, which is not steep, but generally no fun. There was a fellow on a loaded LHT who was riding way ahead of me, and by the time I caught him, he was walking his rig. As I passed him, I asked - "you OK? Got what you need?" And the glare from him could have gone through steel. As I passed, I realized he was just tired. Surly, indeed. Esteban San Diego, Calif.

Over the years I've had a couple of accidents while riding a bicycle. In both instances I was given very kind assistance by passing pedestrians or auto drivers. I never underestimate the kindness of others, I think most people are really disposed to be helpful when they see someone injured in an accident.
