Dear Editor,
A heartfelt thank you to the complete stranger who rescued me and my road bike, Monday Aug. 28.
During a long ride in Vancouver I ended up with a flat tire, and unable to change the tube. I then began the uncomfortable walk home to Steveston.
On Russ Baker Way, after trudging along for at least an hour, “Ken” pulled off the road, and offered me a lift.
Before I could tell him I didn’t want to put him out of his way, he explained he was a fellow Richmondite and, just the day before, had completed the two-day Ride to Conquer Cancer, with a combined total for the event raising more than $8 million.
Being surrounded by 2,000 passionate cyclists, and aware of all types of issues that can happen on long rides, he said he had to stop and offer help. Thank you, Ken!
I am so grateful and continuously amazed at the generosity and kindness of the cycling community.
Lisa Carr
