Default Re: A nice little story about a fallen bike and some nice Yanks

You know what mate, I am not actually that surprised about Yank Hospitality. My parents have been across there twice in the last 2 years, and after everything that TV and other media tell us about Americans (Which is basically that they all carry guns, are rude and brash and would not think twice about invading your country if it had oil) is simply not true.

Little is it known that New York regularly wins "Politest city in the world" award.

My parents love the country and they are shy and retiring people. They come back saying how much everyone will go out of your way to help you, and just like you said then refuse payment or tips.

Plus you know what they say about bikers. The biggest set of friends in the world.

Nice story mate. I am saving up at the moment for a 6 month tour of America by bike. I need to save for about another 5 years though yet.
