Thanks for the inspiring and heartwarming story, Bobby. That's an attitude that would make the world a better place if more people shared it (and I'm not necessarily referring to fellow cyclists). I too have stopped occasionally to render assistance to other cyclists and non-cyclists alike. And I will admit that it makes me feel better afterwards. Sometimes it makes me wonder if there is a greater power that put me in that location at that time. Although he eventually became a disgraced cyclist, I have always believed that...at least for me...the title of Lance Armstrong's first book is a good mantra: It's Not About the Bike. And I would say that incidents like this make cycling about more than just the bike.
