Walked the bike home three times in two days!

Spring is surely here! Breaking shit becomes routine again. This week we started having solid shorts weather, it was in the 40's every day! I don't often wear leg warmers when it's in the 30's either, but I never wear them when the thermometer hits 40. Anyway, the warm weather typically means I can push it harder which always takes it's toll on the bikes. I took the road bike out a few days ago (no mechanical issues) came home, switched into normal clothes and took the track bike out. I ended up cranking really hard to run a light and it pulled my rear wheel out and skidded through the intersection. I didn't have a wrench, so that was the first walk home. Next day, I got a flat on the track bike, walked my bike home took my road bike out for a ride - broke my derailleur hanger off.
While I was walking home a guy, who used to come into the restaurant I worked at, stopped to offer me a ride. I would have taken him up on it, but he has a nice car and my bike is ALWAYS so dirty I didn't want to ruin his car. A little further along my walk a random dude in a truck stopped and offered me a ride. I assume he was a cyclist, he had a Thule roof rack on his truck. It was pretty nice out, so I thanked him and told him I was pretty close to home - kept walking. I am always amazed by how helpful strangers are willing to be.

(I don't know if I would stop and offer a ride to some giant walking
his bike around wearing pink spandex)

Last summer two ladies who were out walking offered to go home and get their SUV and give me a ride home! It is always a nice reminder how generous people can be. I wouldn't do that for somebody, haha. So now I am stuck not racing this weekend and waiting for FELT to mail my second derailleur hanger replacement... Looks like I will be on the track bike until then.
