Last night I had some faith restored in mankind - I was riding along Gap Road in Wimbledon when a girl going the other way stacked it and landed in a heap on the floor. Without a word, the other cyclists/pedestrians and I sprang into action. Two people stopped the traffic, one person picked her bike up, I picked her up and took her to the side of the road. She was shaken up and her knees and hands hurt but she seemed fine. I offered to call someone for her but she said she lived just around the corner and would walk the rest of the way. Heal up soon!
Generally I just assume that other people are dicks but this little act of solidarity made me rethink things (until I met @TW for dinner and he waited for my food to arrive before telling me about the explosive diarrhoea he had last week).
