i am bycycling to work in a small town (i haven't been on a bike 45+ years)...the handlebars disengage completely from the frame... so i walk into a shop and ask the young woman clerk if anyone there can repair my bycycle...she shows me a list of 3 contacts who repair bikes...the bike has to be sent away in the mail...i don't find the options appealing...i realize i may not get to work this day...
Me: "Isn't there a bike repair shop in this town?"
Woman Clerk DC: "This town is too small...go and meditate in the twilight."
