Wednesday of last week on my way back to LA from San Diego, I had a flat tire on the 5 FWY and had to be towed from Del Mar to Oceanside. We arrived at Oceanside Cycle Supply after closing, it was almost 6 PM so I was going to leave the bike and rent a motel room. When one of the mechanics, Michael, heard I was going to spend the knight, he offered to stay and change the tube and tire. This was accomplished with the assistance of his manager, Spence. To have a flat at that time of day and have a shop react the way they did makes for a very happy ending. It is great to find people that think outside the box. I made it home safely and slept in my own bed.
