I took my brand new bike out for a ride only to have the chain snap in two. I was about 7 miles out on some very rural roads. I had my cell phone with me but the people I typically would use as emergency contacts were either out of town or working. The weather was nice so I started walking back to the main road thinking at some point a farmer would pass me and stop and offer me a ride (surely they would know something was wrong if I was walking my bike- wrong assumption!). Several people did pass me and they just kept going so I kept walking. When I finally reached the main road (about 1.5 miles from my house) my neighbor passed me, turned around and came back to see if something was wrong (she picked up on the fact I was pushing my bike not riding it). She offered me a ride home which I gladly accepted given my feet really hurt.
