First time it happened I had a three mile walk back to where I was parked. My LBS wanted $15 to order a new bolt, but the clerk suggested just going to a hardware store. Lowes had it for about $1. Not as strong as the original (lasts 2-3 years instead of 10+ years) but they are cheap. Other than a tube, it's the only spare part I typically carry.
