helping a fellow cyclist in need

Toronto, 2015.07.24

By happy chance I had my usual bike repair kit with me yesterday when I pulled up next to someone who was replacing a flat tube. He'd had one of those compressed air canisters, but it failed. He got on his way again with my pump.

It's a little thing, but a rare chance to help someone out. Especially since it happened about 1.5 blocks from where I fell on Adelaide last month.

I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, caught and killed a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers. But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the beaches are open and people are having a wonderful time.
