Biking to the nearest pay phone and calling home to see if anyone could pick you up, but no one's there. Biking the whole 18 miles home cuz no one will help. I am just glad my bike was okay. I dunno what I would've done if it'd been broken... I doubt I would have walked the whole 18 miles back... haha. I probably would have had to call for an ambulance... and that would totally have sucked.
This did happen to me! I was on a single track at mt spokane and folded my arm in half! It was not pretty. I had to walk out no way could i ride and since i was on the mountain i couldn't call an ambulance. Let me just say it's not as bad as it sounds. Shock set in and the pain was managable. I caught a ride from a friend when i made it to the pavement. Several surgeries later and lots of rehab i'm back to falling off my bike again!
