AAA launches bicyclist roadside service in Wash
An excerpt:
SEATTLE (AP) — Ran into trouble while bicycling? Soon there will be help roadside available, if you're AAA member.
AAA has announced that it will launch a roadside service for bicyclists in Washington state on Sunday. Washington joins the Oregon and southern Idaho branches with the service, said spokeswoman Jennifer Cook on Friday.
...
Under the bicycle service, a member can call AAA if they run into trouble. However, AAA crews won't fix your bicycle. Rather, they'll give you a lift to a safe location of your choosing, such as home or a bike shop.
How far AAA takes you depends on the mileage covered by the membership plan. For example, the lowest level allows for a 5 mile radius ride, the middle one for 100 miles and the highest for 200 miles. Should the ride be longer than the membership allotment, a mileage surcharge can be used.
The fact that you can get a lift is great, imho. I hope this is extend to California!
