With the warmer summer months on the way, it's time to dust off that bicycle and hit the streets. If you happen to find yourself stranded while you're out and about, NPR points out that in a number of states you can call AAA for assistance if you're a subscriber.
Currently, AAA is set up to provide roadside assistance to bicycles in most of New England, the Pacific Northwest, Colorado, Minnesota, and a number of other states. The coverage varies slightly from state to state, but in most cases you get at least two bicycle calls a year, and they'll either pick you up or do minor repairs like fixing a flat tire. Even if you're not in a state with bicycle-specific coverage, it's still usually worth a call to see if they'll help you out or direct you to the nearest repair shop. You should know how to repair flats on your own, but knowing that AAA can cover you should help in a pinch.
