I watched it twice...
Was something supposed to happen there?
Damn thing was more boring than a cricket match being narrated by Leonard Cohen....
I'm guessing that there was some activity that I somehow missed?

Re: Good work cyclist!
A cyclist spotted a homeless man rifling through a bin for food and offered to buy him 'anything he wanted' in a random act of kindness which has moved tens of thousands across the globe.
Lewis Dediara was cycling through central London when he saw the desperate man foraging through rubbish for something to eat.
All the man wanted was some crisps and milk, but a video of the exchange has been viewed around the world as it was filmed on a camera mounted on Mr Dediara's cycling helmet.

Re: Good work cyclist!
A cyclist helping a homeless man.
That's very unlikely to happen in San Francisco (or anywhere nearby).
A cyclist would be more likely to run over a homeless man at an intersection and then blame it on the homeless person and the cars on the road.
If he were to be called on it he would follow up with a legal claim to have been discriminated against for being a cyclist.
And he would be supported by a large amount of freaks in San Francisco, including the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

Claude WyleAttorney
Tuesday, May 15, 2012 a hit-and-run driver struck and killed 57-year-old bicyclist, Mr. Bo Hu, in Dublin, California. This fatal bicycle accident occurred on Dougherty Road near Fall Creek Road about 11:30 p.m. We just recently learned that the man arrested in regard to this bicycle hit-and-run is a local San Francisco attorney. While this driver is innocent until proven guilty, it seems that the parts of the car left at the scene of this bicycle death matched this lawyer’s new Mercedes Benz, and that the Mercedes Benz found in this lawyer’s garage had extensive damage which is consistent with a bicycle crash.
Dublin Police Lt. Herb Walters said the bicyclist, Mr. Bo Hu of China, was visiting the Bay Area and was found by a passer-by who called 911. Apparently, paramedics arrived and pronounced Hu dead at the scene.
It is unclear as to whether or not the man was riding his bicycle or walking with it on the four-lane roadway, which has a speed limit of 45 mph.
The motorist arrested on suspicion of this felony hit-and-run is a San Francisco attorney, who is an employment litigator and has represented clients involved in cases involving whistle-blowers, wage disputes, sexual harassment, discrimination and wrongful termination. Authorities said Friday that Smith is suspected of driving his brand-new Mercedes-Benz that night. The Mercedes was found to have "extensive windshield and front-end damage", and was missing the parts left behind at the scene of the crash that killed Bo Hu. He is 32-year-old Spencer Freeman Smith of San Ramon, California.

Re: Good work cyclist!
I can't imagine hitting anything hard enough to trash my windshield and not stopping to render aid. If I'd hit a deer, I'd want to be sure it was dead or else put it out of its misery.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

True. Bicyclists are much more likely to be killed or have their legs ripped off by cars than to do harm to pedestrians.

Re: Good work cyclist!
Cool, I do this too. Must be a cyclist thing; whenever this particular homeless woman and I meet near the Quizno's, I buy her lunch. Started doing it 'round Thanksgiving and haven't stopped.
...I recall the reaction to that kind of thing, being rather different here. Must be because I'm too poor to film it.
