Flat Tire Three Miles From Home

Flat tire three miles from home. No spare tube. Phone dead. Classic.

Walked my bike past two shops. Both closed. Sunday, of course.

Some guy on a touring bike stopped. Had a patch kit. Fixed me up in five minutes. Refused to take payment.

Pass it on, he said. So that’s the plan now.
