Interesting incident on today's ride--stopped to help a cyclist who was riding waaay out in country on a cruiser bike, which was fully loaded with an assortment of baggage. As I was helping fix her flat tire, she told me that she was heading for San Francisco, and that she had started from Spokane, WA ... On foot!
She had walked most of the way from Washington state--the bike was given to her by someone in Sacramento. Just to have ridden her heavy one-speed bike from Sacramento (a distance of some 50 miles) was an accomplishment in itself, but walking from Spokane is just mind-boggling. She seemed nice--had no money, but accepted my help and didn't ask for anything else. What a tough person--and what a tough life she must lead!
