How did you find out about AAA Bicycle Service? The hard way! In fall 2016, I was riding my bicycle coast to coast to celebrate turning 70. I’d made it from Oregon to Minnesota when a mechanical failure caused my front wheel to lock up.
Oh, no! What happened? I went over the handlebars and smashed into the pavement. Two bicyclists came along and helped me up. They told me I could call AAA.
Were you surprised? Quite. I hadn’t yet heard about the service, but I decided to try it. I called AAA, and a tow truck arrived within 15 minutes. The driver took me to my desired destination. I was thrilled that AAA would do that.
