I was less than a block from home when a lady with a cane waved me over to her driveway. Her husband had been hurt in a bike accident that AM. He was fit enough to get his MTB and Lemond road bike up onto the Thule roof rack and locked into place before she drove him to the hospital. There, the doctors required him to stay for over night care. Now she is home and unable to get the bikes off of the car. Then I grind by on our 10% hill. I couldn't get them unlocked either. The local lbs was still open and I sent her there. Her SUV had enough room in the back for the bikes with the wheels off. She had been stymied for a while as almost all the neighbors are in their 80s.
