Thank you Pittsburgh Bike Community
Wanted to give a big thanks to the biker who stopped to help me fix a flat tire on the Fort Duquesne Bridge after the Steelers game tonight. He took the time and several CO2 cartridges to get me rolling and saving me a 9 mile walk home. Seriously, I really appreciate it!
As a lifelong Packers fan, I’m usually prepared for late season disappointments(good luck with Mike and Aaron...) and that preparedness usually extends to carrying the necessary bike recovery tools. That said, I’ve now learned it’s important to periodically check that those tools are actually compatible and functional. My pump wasn’t working, and my tire lever was sitting at home on the workbench.
So learn from my mistakes and double check your tools, and be thankful for fellow cyclists in this city who are willing to lend a hand. Thanks again to the guy who stopped to help.
