As someone who's new to biking, sometimes I'm not to great at checking every last detail before I hit the road. On Sunday, I was riding along the San Luis Rey Bike Trail and a gentlemen rode up behind me. He let me know that the skewers in my wheels were not locked! I honestly wasn't 100% sure what he was talking about and I told him so. We were about three miles from the end of the bike trail, so he offered to stop and help me there. And THEN, he let me draft off of him for those last three miles!! Never even got the guy's name, but I sure was happy that 1) he pointed out something that could have been a giant disaster and 2) that he was willing to interrupt his ride to help a total stranger.
I have always had faith in the kindness of people, but it always makes me smile to see such a true example of it!
100% sure the gentlemen who stopped does NOT read our blog, but if he ever happens to on to this page - THANK YOU!
