Whilst a good deed was done, I couldn't help but think the guy probably doesn't have many friends based on the fact that he posted it up on youtube in a 'ooh, look at me' kind of way. That and he was so keen to help that he was obviously going nowhere to meet no-one.

Or he put someone else's needs before his own, and went out of his way to help a stranger. A believer in Karma?

Those who do good deeds and don't brag, I respect. He obviously spent a fair bit of time, editing the footage and uploading it, all for the sake of trying to get some credit. Not a truly selfless act really. :-/

Do you feel the need to tell everyone about it when you do?

No, but perhaps I see more good in people than bad?

who said he did it for credit? Perhaps it may provide some inspirational thoughts for others. Its the same as any Oxfam/Red Cross or charity advert.

I'm pretty sure the vid started by saying he left work early and was off to pick his kid up from school. Also he appears to be a vlogger so it'd be silly not to make a vid of that. He may be a sad boring git (he sounds like it) but that kind of vid helps restore my faith in humanity so it's a good watch. :)

As a side, there are no selfless acts anyway! :)

Well done that man. And we'll done to the bike training school for helping.
If I hax a helmet cam on when that happened I'd have probably posted it as well.

Not everyone has an ulterior motive for doing good
