It's AA style breakdown cover, but for bikes.
Almost tempting - would be nice to know that my ar*e was covered when I do longer solo rides.
Thought it was interesting anyway.

| | Yeah... I'd like to know what their call out time would be for a snapped rear mech 4 miles in on the Penhydd trail at Afan. I bet hyperthermia would have set in by the time they get out there. Much better to carry to some basic tools and spares with you and leave a more complete tool kit in the car or 'bank' an emergency 'taxi' fund/carry a credit card. |
