a friend of mine ended up paying $100 bucks for a cab once when the weather turned and he was having mechanicals. He said it was worth every cent.

Different suggestions depending on what kind of surroundings you might be stuck in. Would you be in populated areas with stores, fast food restaurants and gas stations and such? Or would you be on remote country roads with no stores, public buildings, and no shelter at all to duck into? Would there be people around anywhere at all if you got sick or stuck on your longer rides?

Hitchhike? But only accept a ride from someone in a pickup truck. You and your bike safely in the back. Just tell them you have to prevent any damage to the bike or from your bike damaging their truck.

I'd call AAA, tell 'em I'm a woman travelling alone and give them my member number and ask for a ride to a safe place (maybe home). I pay for all their travelling perks, so I would expect some help from them finding a ride when I need help while travelling!
They would likely arrange some form of transport (one call does it all!) and hopefully not charge me much."If Americans want to live the American Dream, they should go to Denmark." - Richard Wilkinson
