I've been first, 2nd and 3rd on scene, plus somewhere in the pack on scene to many accidents, bike, ped and car related over the years. I think there's appropriate involvement at each stage, but unless I can offer direct help, I clear out. Sometimes I can tell that without stopping. But, unless I knew the person, I'd tend to move on to stay out of the way. If it was unclear, I've asked if help was needed or if there was anything I could do (go back and slow traffic, call for help, relieve/carry on for a tiring person), but if the professionals are on the scene, I like to let 'em do their jobs. - J -- Jim Edgar [email protected] Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes "Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it."
