@pete asks:
I found myself stuck in my highest gear ~20km from home yesterday and so sought out as flat a route as possible to ride home, repeatedly hopping off to walk anything that got too steep.
Q7. What do you do if you find yourself stranded mid-ride? Call for assistance? Walk? Public transport? Set up camp and live off foraged nuts and berries?

@ascentale @pete @bikenite A7 based on the two times I've had catastrophic breakdowns while far from home:
- take the bus as close to home as I can get. Unfortunately my e-bike is 1" too long to fit on the bike racks, so this is dependent on the driver being merciful and the bus mostly empty
- call my LBS for roadside assistance because it's really hard to pedal with only one crankshaft
Worst case, if I have a lock with me, secure the bike somewhere and call a cab.
