From Strangers to Friends

By Jason Waldron - Wally the Web Guy

The other day I took my fixed gear bike out for a ride to the
Environmental Learning center.

It's a nice ride - you go past a lot of parks and water follows
you the whole way along the bike trail.

The "fixie" I rode was purchased a year ago on Craigslist, and
from what I can tell, it pretty much is assembled out of used
parts dating back to the early 1970s. Why not? I had told
myself, when the time came to purchase this bike.

So there I am, about 7 miles from home, cruising along, when my
left crank starts to wobble. Uh oh, I'm thinking.

Nothing worse than being caught a long way from home with a
broken bike. Oh, and I forgot to mention - there were dark rain
clouds building up too.

Sure enough, the crank falls off, and there I am caught on the
side of the trail, examining the situation.

Not sure if you've ever ridden a fixed gear bike. They're
weird. You can't stop pedaling and coast. You just have to
crank and crank and crank.

Oddly enough, this was a good thing for my situation! I ended
up looking a little strange, as I rode past a group of 20 or so
kids, pumping away with my right leg, and letting my left leg
dangle.

Well, after a couple of miles of this, I grew tired and decided
to walk.

I went through an alley, past some backyard gardens, and came
out in front of a house where an insurance guy was finishing a
sales call.

"Hey, do you need a ride?" He called out.

I looked over, and he drove a Subaru Forester with a bike rack
on top. My kind of guy.

"I don't need one, but I'll take one!"

So this nice gentleman, Bob Smith, of all names, became my new
best friend.

He drove me to the bike shop, they fixed me up, and I was on my
way.

Moral of the story: You never know when a stranger will become
your friend.
