Hi,
ok, i was heading to an exit door. At the same time a cyclist
pushing his bike also was approaching for the same door, i walked a
little bit faster and reached the door quickly and held the door open
for the cyclist. Instead, the cyclist insisted on i go thru the door
first, after two times going back and forth, i had to go thru the door
and he exited after me. He commutes daily by bike, and he knows that i
too sometimes commute by bike. We exchange hellos sometimes. Still
puzzling thing was why he insisted on *not* letting me hold the door
open for him. Upon reflection, i came up with two ways to look at things is:
1. this person is holding the door out of courtesy
2. Or, this person thinks the cyclist needs assistance..
when someone does something like that for me - i think it is #1 and
thank them and accept it. But after this incident, i think #2 is also a
possibility.
I am sure so many of you have been in such situations, how do you react?
may be, i should read some book on social effects of cycling
