Re: Was I right? (not offering 'advice' to an unknown rider)
 

I was riding home from work about 2 years ago, when a bike came up and rode beside me. He called across saying that my brake light had blown. He went off in another direction, I pulled up off of the road, and changed the bulb, and I was pretty grateful that he'd taken the effort to let me know.

Trouble is you just can't help some people. I voted to tell em but I don't think there is a right or wrong answer. If you have the opportunity fine but that ain't easy whilst travelling, you could cause an accident trying to attract attention.

I recall being out on ride with Beenz when he spotted a pannier resting on the exhaust. He rode in front and gestured him to stop. Ok the guy stopped and adjusted his kit but I think Beenz rode on thinking 'why did I bother'!

If the chain was technically lose for type of bike and the owner has done anything he is propbably a dumb ass anyone and probably wouldn't have reacted well. If you now owt about bikes you know if your chain isn't right.

I knew my chain was overtight after having new tyres fitted and believe I'm naff on bike techno knowledge stuff.

So don't beat yourself up about that Baph :D
