Alex Hillman stops his ride to assist an elderly blind man walking in the street back onto the sidewalk
Biker and scooter enthusiast Alex Hillman did something memorable for this blind man. Each time he rides, he attaches a camera to his head in case anything special ever happens. In this case, he caught something incredible that he did himself.
While on a ride in Vancouver, British Columbia, Hillman, a Youtuber ‘Good Guy Biker‘ happened upon a blind man who was walking in the road. Instead of zipping past, as many of his companions did, the biker pulled a U-turn and helped the elderly blind man on his way.
The biker recorded the entire interaction and uploaded the inspiring moment to YouTube.
“Excuse me, sir, there’s a sidewalk just 3 or 4 feet over to your left side,” the polite biker says as he approaches the man, who replies, gratefully, “Can you walk me over there?”
After parking his bike, the hero gently grabs the man’s hand, leads him to the sidewalk, and points him in the direction of town. As he walks away, he offers, cheerily, “Have a nice day, sir!”
His channel is about Motorcycle passion and random acts of kindness worldwide. “We love two wheels and so do you. So come along with us as we create new content for you and your friends to share in the world. Ride safe brothers and sisters. Lots of off-road, dual-sport, mountain biking, random acts of kindness, paintball, and anything else awesome !” he said.

Thanks for sharing this video of mine and doing so in a way that is accessible for everyone!!!! Love That FOR SURE! I have lots more act of kindness videos on my youtube GoodGuyBiker and on my twitter too so feel free to enjoy those and be inspired to help others too.
Thank you for your comment. Speaking of helping others, it is difficult to make the first step. The other day, I was in Downtown LA and saw a blind lady trying to cross a street. She had a cane but had difficulty doing so. I had to help her but didn’t know how to do it. In a split second, another lady put her arm around the blind lady’s arm to lead her across the street. Thinking and doing are two different things for helping. Try to be like you to make the first step urgently.
