The thing I dread the most as a cyclist happened to me today. The chain on my road bike broke about 20km into my morning ride. But just as I was resigned to pushing the bike to the petrol station (at least 5km away) where I was supposed to meet a cyclist friend, a car with a roof rack stopped. Out came a pair of young men who realized my predicament and immediately offered to strap the bike to the rack and take me where I was going. They said that as fellow cyclists, they were only too happy to help out a brother in need. Ten years ago I would been totally helpless in a situation like that. Now, thanks to a surge in cycling in Penang, the pedal-power fraternity is not only a force to be reckoned with but also a seemingly ubiquitous source of assistance for those who need it.
