a couple of months ago i was in the middle of an interval on left hand canyon when i saw this guy on the side of the road. i asked between gasps if he needed help (because that's what a nice person would do). usually people say no they don't need help, but this guy said yes. i stopped and he needed a tube because he had gone through two already. even thought i had never met him and knew i would never see my tube again, i gave him my only tube. i felt good about it, and figured i would have good karma.

today during my ride i stopped at spruce confections in north boulder. a guy walked up to me (i didn't recognize him) and put a tube down on my table and said, "i believe i owe you this."

hope i still have good karma cause i took his tube.

lesson to be learned, help out your fellow cyclists. it feels good to help them, and sometimes you get repaid.

Wow, that's like that one commercial and the Kevin Spacey movie. Nice work.
