In this part of NJ I couldn't find a "remote" location if I tried. There are LBS 15 miles in every direction and a house,store,gas station, school, hospital, mall, police station and every other possible source of help a stone's throw in any direction.
When I first got my bike last spring I knew I should load up an emergency kit under my seat but I just didn't bother. One of those things I'd get to eventually.
Yep, you guessed it, one day I had to push my bike about a mile to a LBS because of a flat, had no money on me at all, called DH who left work and came just to pay for the darn thing after which I thanked him sheepishly and road the bike back to my car about 10miles away.
Next day - I outfitted my bike with a pretty well equipped emergency kit.
I think if anything serious happened.. ie. major crash or major mechanical break down, I'd walk for help or just yell really loud - no doubt someone will be close enough to tell me to "Shut up Already!"
Don't ya just love Jersey?
