Title: 9 PM, -2°F Bike rider
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on January 20, 2020, 02:12:19 AM

Taking my truck to pick up my daughter....young fellow leaving work at a country club riding a bicycle - waiting at a stop sign.
It is too d_mn cold, windy and dark for that. Light flurries.  We put his bike in the truck and took him home.
Been there, done that, when I was young.
He had no gloves or hat. Truck owners carry plenty of spare work gloves...but I had no hat to give him.
Youngster just trying to work, no car, and no public transport.
If I hadn't ridden scooters in these miserable conditions - I might not have stopped😊

Wish I could convey how cold that wind was last night! It was rocking the truck sometimes.

No hat??  No gloves??!!  How long would it take to get frostbite in those conditions?
That guy may have no idea what a favor you did, Stig.
