I think about this every time somebody starts a thread about all of the stuff they carry with them every time that they ride. Sheesh! I basically carry enough stuff to fix one flat tire and pretty much rely on my wits and the generosity of strangers for everything else. I'm typing this from home so I've obviously always found a way to make it back.
I think that my best story was on a Santana tandem tour. Without going into details, a group of about 40 of us got stranded after our bikes were trucked back to Natchez Ms. One of our group went to the courthouse and asked about the possibility of using a school bus. The court house people informed us that the school busses weren't allowed to leave the county but began calling local churches on our behalf. Less than an hour later an appropriately sized bus arrived to transport us. They only wanted about $50.00 for the fule, but we stuck Santana with a $150.00 tab and I suspect that the driver was quite happy with his tip.
