Kind Motorist and Everest Cycles, Bray

I've never posted in cycling forum before, but the following happened during the week, that I think deserves being mentioned.
I was cycling up to Roundwood, when I suffered a blow out. The bead of my tyre had become seperated from the sidewall and there was no way, that by just replacing the tube, I was going to get home.
I began walking with my bike back down to the N11, where I planned on ringing someone to come to my rescue. A motorist, who was driving up to Roundwood, saw me heading in the opposite direction and did a U-turn to offer some help. After explaining my plight, he kindly drove myself and my bike to a bike shop in Bray. Had no real way to thank him, but it just goes to show that there are some nice people out there.
Anyway once in the bike shop, Everest Cycles, I explained to owner what had happened and that I needed a new tire. Unfortunately I had no money or cards on me and I told owner that I had no way of paying him, there and then. The owner, Tommy, had never seen me before and had no idea who I was. Nonetheless he gave me the new tire, trusting I would drop in with the money on another occasion. With the new tire on bike, I cycled out of his shop, without having paid him or even given him my name.
I guess you can always depend on the kindness of strangers.

Nice story, Great to hear that people will still help out a complete stranger.

That was there good deed for the day, you now need to help out a complete stranger and show a random act of kindness.
