helping a fellow cyclist in need

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2015.07.24

By happy chance I had my usual bike repair kit with me yesterday when I pulled up next to someone who was replacing a flat tube. He'd had one of those compressed air canisters, but it failed. He got on his way again with my pump.

It's a little thing, but a rare chance to help someone out. Especially since it happened about 1.5 blocks from where I fell on Adelaide last month.

My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was less competition there.
