Everyone knows to call AAA Roadside Assistance when there is car trouble, but did you know about AAA bicycle service?
Yes, you can contact AAA to help if your bicycle breaks down, too!
If you are enjoying a leisurely bike ride and suddenly get a flat tire, a bent rim or snap the chain, call AAA’s roadside assistance number, 800-AAA-HELP (800-222-4357). Simply provide your membership number, name and specify that it is a bicycle issue.
A roadside technician can perform light service and repairs to get you back up and running, or will tow you and your bike to a safe location within 10 miles at no cost.
Members get two AAA bike service calls per year, including AAA Everyday members, for those without a car who still want to enjoy all the benefits of AAA.
Here are a few things to know about AAA bicycle service:
- Service is provided along normally traveled roads or streets.
- The member must be on the scene. Services are offered to the bicycle owner and minors traveling with them.
- Only two-wheeled bicycles, including rental bikes, qualify for service. The bicycle must be able to fit on a bike rack and cannot be motorized in any way.
- Minors traveling alone can receive AAA bicycle service if requested by a parent or guardian.
