Q3. Have you ever *needed* rescuing while cycling? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-07/cyclist-rescued-from-snowy-river-police-air-wing/106537314 (wasn't me)

rand ❌👑@ascentale @nickzoic @bikenite A3. I’ve always been able to self rescue, but I did have my wife pick me up once the last time I broke a chain. I could have scooted home, but it probably would have taken an hour or more.
The other day I saw a kid on a pushbike, and it dawned on me that I could drop my seat, might help with pushing. #BikeNite
nick@rand @ascentale @bikenite that's actually a cool idea and a good reason if you've got no chain, make a velocipede conversion :-) I did once have to roll the bike 3km back to the car and I was just lucky it was largely downhill.
