I learned that I need to buy a trailer. I got a flat tire 8 miles from home at 11:30 PM tonight. No one I knew who had a pick up truck or trailer was able to help me. I ended up calling one of my employees who knew someone who could help me out. They came out and loaded my bike onto the back of the pickup by using a hill that was near where I was. However, when we got to my place there was no such hill to helpus out. We had to manhandle the bike down from the truck. In the process, the rear turn signal got hung up in one of our coats and was broken.
I still paid them $40.00 for bailing me out and I am thankful they came. However, I now firmly believe that I need to purchase a trailer in case this ever happens to me or someone I know again.
