St Pancras and the good Samaritan - Ride along the Grand Union Canal after work

Early finish for a meeting near St Pancras Station: the prelude to a bigger and more exciting ride ahead.....more about that when it happens. Took the Grand Union Canal from Acton all the way to St Pancras......not a fast ride but a very interesting route (see pics from the 'ride across London' post from Summer 2011 http://hantsrider-cyclerides.blogspot.co.uk/2011/05/ride-across-london-after-work-via-canal.html).

No pics this time as I was in a hurry but I did stop early on along the canal to do my good deed of the day. A young lad was clearly having problems with his bike on the tow path. I had a look at the bike for him and realised that a loose wheel nut on the back wheel was causing the wheel to move over and catch the stays & frame when he pedalled along. Quick tighten with a box spanner and all was well. He said 'I'm really so grateful to you'. 'No problem' I said, 'Cyclists look out for one another'.
