Did a good deed this morning.
Saw a guy pushing his bike, so checked in with him. He'd broken his chain.
Fortunately I had a couple of spare quicklinks and all the tools needed, so had him back up and running in 5 minutes.
Turns out he worked for #McVities making chocolate digestives, so he definitely counts as an essential worker.

@v_perjorative love this story!
@ascentale we should turn this into a #BikeNitePQ: "Have you ever run into trouble on your bike and had a stranger help you out, or have you have helped a stranger who was having bike problems themself?" Or something along those lines?
He's real!
@v_perjorative You're him!

@sam @ascentale I work on the principal that if I'm faced with a long walk home due to a mechanical, I'd quite like someone to help me.
A few years back my RD cable snapped, and didn't have any cable ties to fix it in an easy gear. Someone in a camper van gave me a lift home, which was handy given how much was up hill.
