my stupid bike ran out of petrol this morn (my fault really i passed a garage just before but the one down the road is cheaper) i had to push the bloody thing for just bout a mile in scorchin sun and not one person stoped to see if i was ok even though loads of bikes went past
i try and stop for any biker i see in trouble why dont other peeps do the same nowadays?

around this area i have no problem getting bikers to stop, its very rare that another biker will ride past and ignore me. hopefully you were just unlucky

I've noticed that less people stop for bikes by the side of the road too..... I always stop if somebody is stood beside their bike scratching their head, even if I'm in a car.
Could be a bit silly bein a girl on me own really....... but hey I can run pmsl

i always stop if i see a biker on the side of the road but sometimes it can be embrasising as i stopped for a bloke and asked if he was ok, turns out he had just stopped for a fag!!!! bugger, well the thought was there, and he was looking round his bike so i thought he had trouble, never mind, we had a chat anyway.
i would rather stop and there be nowt wrong than assume all is ok and they are stuck. can't belive they went passed u, i would have stopped and helped to push the bike

Isn`t it compulsory to stop for a biker even if your in a car?
