This is kinda fun: a woman is cycling from Massachusetts to Milwaukee, which is the birthplace of the typewriter (and also my hometown but I didn't know that), with a typewriter, writing a poem with…Continue

It's not an either/or for me. It's an all/and.

Albert Tuskenis replied to Michele's discussion 'Bicycle Roadside Assistance'"I have had this service for a couple of years as an add-on to automobile roadside assistance through Better World Club. The cost is $17.00 per year as an add-on to the auto service.
As a suburbanite who rides mostly where there aren't…"
Michele replied to Michele's discussion 'Bicycle Roadside Assistance'"When I ride my errand bike, it's just in the city, so I know I can always get it and me home or wherever I'm going on CTA, Metra, friend, or a cab, if need be, so wouldn't have need for roadside assistance.
When I'm on my road…"
Dovah Cat replied to Michele's discussion 'Bicycle Roadside Assistance'"Similar thought this morning... how nice it would be if several snack stands along the path also offered Gu and Clif bars, maybe air pumps and a supply of tubes... and cold beers, too, while we're dreaming.

Cameron 7.5 mi replied to Michele's discussion 'Bicycle Roadside Assistance'"The Bike Lane on Milwaukee does offer a roving mechanic. I think they used to ride up and down Milwaukee durring rush hour, but now it looks like they're just on call."
David crZven 10.6 replied to Michele's discussion 'Bicycle Roadside Assistance'"The "roving Bike Mechanic" on the LFP is a two-edged sword. If the person doesn't charge, then the costs, the lack of income and the like, will make this very expensive PR. Remember that the cost of the…"
Tricolor replied to Michele's discussion 'Bicycle Roadside Assistance'"I had a thought a few years ago that a bike store could generate a lot of goodwill by sending out a few employees to ride along the lakefront trail patching flats for free or for tips, along with any other on the spot sort of work.
Figure the cost…"
S replied to Michele's discussion 'Bicycle Roadside Assistance'"If you already have a spare tube and pump, then you'll be done fixing your flat before they could get in touch with a provider to come out. However, the service where they'll pick you up and give you a ride sounds like it might be…"
Dovah Cat replied to Michele's discussion 'Bicycle Roadside Assistance'"Yeah, that too. These things combined shouldn't weigh more than half a pound. This service sounded like a decent idea until I clicked the link... doesn't seem like they're very helpful! "we will not deliver you new equipment,…"
in it to win it 8.0 mi replied to Michele's discussion 'Bicycle Roadside Assistance'"CTA card, cab fare. Never leave home without it.

Dovah Cat replied to Michele's discussion 'Bicycle Roadside Assistance'"A few tire levers, CO2 cartridge and a tube or two probably cost much less. "
