I had a chance to assist someone again today. I came upon a couple that was stopped so I asked if they needed any help. Turned out that she had crashed a couple miles back up the trail. Now her bike wasn't riding well. She had mangled a brake pad and it was rubbing. I took out my little mini-multi-tool, re-adjusted her brakes, and got the bike running again.

She had a cut on her knee and I offered them the use of my Triple Anti-Biotic ointment and a band-aid, but for some reason, she didn't take it.

I have occasion to assist someone on about 1/3rd of my 20+ mile rides.

They were riding matching Trek 7300 hybrids and they were fast! We took off together and the two of them dropped me immediately and disappeared off into the distance.

They were on a 35 mile ride, up from Monroe on the Badger Trail and the only thing they had with them were water bottles. No helmets either. Weren't prepared to handle even the smallest problem.
