AAA will now come to your aid if you’re on a bike!

Really cool. Sure there is a limit how often you can use this service. So don’t toss your repair kit yet.
I remember a local bike store used to offer a similar service to their customers who bought a new (road-) bike from them.
But they smartly also had limited the service to business hours (9-7) and had some restrictions for the weekends…
If you ever had been stranded with a major mechanical and can’t get a hold of friends/relatives, this certainly may be great insurance.
I would even pay AAA a little extra if they offered this kind of roadside-assistance in my area.
I’ll still cary my flat kit, but I was happy to hear this on the news yesterday!
CAA has been doing this for a while.

Showoff!
Better World Club right here in the States has been doing it for a long time as well. http://www.betterworldclub.com/
Whatever happened to an enforced brick barefoot when your bike failed… Ah the shit old days…
