O yeah Westy, I remember about that story of yours. You may never know, it might be the same guy. Was the cyclist black or white? According to the link below the video, it says the cyclist is originally from Nigeria.

If only many of us have had such good hearts & had been helpful to those less fortunate the world would have been a better place.

Dude has a camera on his head. I don't think there's anything sincere in this. I didn't bother watching it more than a couple seconds.

^^ Yo, what about if he put it on Youtube in order to encourage others to be kind to those less fortunate, as the guy himself says in the clip? :|

Plus, more and more cyclists are using those helmet-cams due to car-bicycle incidents/aggressive behaviors on roads & I didn't see him showing his face in the clip. I don't think there's anything insincere about it.

But yeah, when you see it, it might seem a show off, even some people are making such comments in Youtube, but if I had a cam on my helmet and such thing happened I might have been in dilemma as well whether I'll have to keep it to myself or put it on the net to encourage others to do the same thing, as long as I am not showing my face & giving out my address. I don't know.

No, after watching it I'm sure I was mistaken. I just have an instinctive aversion to those who parade their deeds. But this is something that helps in the greater scheme of things. Though I would've blurred out the faces.
