The Bike Samaritan Prize

[wheelswings]

If someone were to offer a Roadside Assistance service for bicycle riders, I would be the first to sign up. I’m one of those people who are eternally grateful when fellow riders stop to offer help. So this prize is for those who share their technical expertise on the roads or trails, be it for flat tires, slipped chains, etc.
If you stop and help someone on the trail or road, please make note of it on this thread. Sweeping broken glass and removing tree-limbs from the trail are awesome too! You are a rock star.

Big thanks to my Samaritans last night. Hit a patch of black ice on the WOD last night under Carlin Springs overpass. I cushioned my fall with my face and rib cage. Thank you Carl Henn for sticking with me and walking with me to the parking lot for my rescue and your funny stories that made me laugh. Thanks to HF for picking me up and the 6 hour ER visit. Needless to say with 3 broken ribs, my FS2020 season is over, but always thankful for the wonderful bike friends in my life.

Oh no! Same as Kwark, if there is anything we can do, please don’t hesitate to ask.

As someone that has bruised a rib (but never broken one), I know it was painful to laugh, so don’t:

I know exactly where you are talking about. That drainage problem clearly needs to be fixed. I’m sorry, Sarah. Take care.

Just heard about this on my ride yesterday(because clearly not fluent on waba forum yet…. maybe also cuz I was outta town last weekend having a misadventure it took me a few days to recover from.)

Anyhow I wanna add my offer to help you with anything, Sarah. I live probably only 5 miles from you on the w&od, and have more flex in my weekday schedule than many of the others. If HF can’t do it all for you or is out, try meee[emoji3590]
