Do people stop when you crash & fall off?

I dropped my bike on our steep driveway, I learnt too valuable lessons;
1) My boyfriend at the time was a complete and utter wanker, as he didn't help me pick it up
2) I can pick up my own bike when I am angry

Did he watch you or try in anyway give you instructions?

I learnt my most valuable lessons by having someone knowledgeable watching me perform what I thought they should help me with.

1. They knew what to do. (Bast!@#s)
2. They knew I don't learn just by watching but it helps
3. If I became stuck, they could help, eventually..... after much laughter.
4. They offered ways of making it easier next time once I had achieved the task (no matter how I did) - they were only concerned about me.
5. Angry-> adrenalin, a sure fire way of making you stronger and remembering
6. Practise, enables me to figure out WHAT NOT TO DO, when I am alone, and help isn't nearby.
7. Now you know you can do it - no worries. It wont be something else in the back of your mind while you ride.

8. Google has a few videos how to pick up a bike, it does matter which side.

Yes I have done it a few times.

Generally I have found.

- There are a large percentage of people who wont stop no matter what.

- If you have been a hoon and just past a whole group of people 'dangerously' mostly they wont stop

- Most people who are involved with cars/trucks/motorvehicles as a job or interest will stop.

- If your attitude/gear gives the wrong impression quite a lot of people wont stop


Almost each time I have stopped, people have approached and helped me, which I have appreciated. Pretty lucky so far I have been able to ride home


Attitude can go a long way if your stopped by disco lights
