I'm into doing double century rides plus every weekend at this point. And, throughout my training, it is always interesting to meet people along the way. Everyone, from joggers, cyclists, rollerbladers, etc., are all out and about.
But the people who make this story are those who work at the random convenience store wherever I get into trouble. This past week, my bike needed a wrench to help realign a wheel on the go. (The tire was dragging on the seatstay!) Luckily, I was near a car repair shop, Lant's Auto Sales. (http://www.lantsautosales.com/). They were more than willing to help me out in my time of need and get me back on the road.
Another situation occurred when I was riding through Bennington, VT. My saddle was coming loose from the seat post! Luckily, an Autozone was nearby, and the employees there allowed me to use an Allen key to tighten up my post.
So, to all those who help the poor cyclist with oil stains on their face from sweat, kudos to you. You saved the day.
