I cannot believe that no one stopped and gave you a ride ... the bastards!!!!
Why I do carry my bike rack at all times in my car? ---- Lesson learned.
Coming back from a long ride - alone - on the trail, I spot this roadie all decked out standing on the side of the road. He was looking left and right, then looking down muttering to himself. I passed him, turned around and stopped where it was safe to do so. I waved him to come to the car, as I was opening the bike rack and getting a small towel so not to scratch his frame.
He was obviously pretty happy about me stopping, and he nailed my accent. We both come from the same country of origin, and something looked familiar about him.
He ended up being the son of one of my wife's clients, and we had met before like 4 years ago.
Moral of the story - bikers of the world, keep the freaking bike rack on the car while you are not commuting. Stop when you see a biker in distress, and for god's sake, carry your bike tools and spare inner tube even if you are not riding that day.
Spread the bike love
