Big delay on the ride to work today. I stopped to offer assistance to a cyclist who had been doored. I'd just come off Tugun hill and saw it happen out of the corner of my eye. I only really saw the impact. At least the driver lent me his mobile phone so I could call an ambulance (saving himself from a severe verbal blast in the process). All I could do until it arrived was try to tell the cyclist to calm down (and silently curse myself for knowing nothing about first-aid). At least he didn't have any broken bones (but a very nasty case of road rash).

According to the ambulance staff he should be OK. I hung around to give my story to the cops, before going on my way. Somehow I still made it to work on time. I might call them later and find out how it went.
