With a pump, patches, spare tube, chain break and tool kit, it's been years (and years) since I've been stranded due to mechanical issues. Since I mostly commute, I'm never too far away from anything, and the catastrophic giant nail/rear wheel/fender incident a year or two ago, happened only a quarter mile from the office.
However, I have bonked a few times and had to arrange for a lift.
And then there was that one incident in 2010 where I slipped a disc in my neck and couldn't continue riding...for the next YEAR!
