helping a fellow cyclist in need

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

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.

Capitalist production, therefore, only develops the techniques and the degree of combination of the social process of production by simultaneously undermining the original sources of all wealth – the soil and the worker.

—Karl Marx
