It's a romantic notion, but I don't think it's true. Most of us are
pretty lazy. I've got a friend who's 6' 5" of solid muscle, and he calls
AAA when he gets a flat tire. People don't want to put a bicycle
together and ride it down the freeway to get home. That's what cell
phones are for.

It's never made sense to me to wait a hour or more for AAA to show up when I
could change the flat myself in 5-10 minutes... Of course, I also keep a 2
liter bottle of water and some Lava brand soap in my car to clean my hands
afterwards....
