I know there are a lot of good people out there but I met a top bloke today.

I took my lad out for a bike ride, we only did about 8 miles off road but about 200 yards from the end of the trail he got a puncture, and sods law I didn't have any of my kit as I didn't Intend taking him off road.

Anyway we are about 2 1/2 miles away from home so a bit of a walk. Off we set pushing our bikes and up ahead is a bloke checking the oil in his BMW, I only noticed this because it was an Alpina B3. We walk past and I say "morning" couple of seconds do later he calls me back and can see my lad has a puncture. He goes in his house and gets his kit of tyre leavers and patches and let's me fix the puncture saving us a couple of miles walk. We stand and shoot the st for five minutes then off home.

Top bloke for his help. Generally people offer help when you are out on the trails but just to help someone walking past your house is an impressive show of kindness.

If the owner of the B3 that helped me this morning reads this. Thank you, Thank you very much.
