If you knew roadside assistance for bicycles was an option, would you breathe a little easier on your rides?

If you’re already an AAA Classic Member, this benefit is available to you. If you're not and you need a tow, you can call AAA at the time of the incident, pay for the Classic Membership, and request your tow at that point.

The VTA Guaranteed Ride Home program can also reimburse you for a ride home (e.g., via Uber) in the event of a qualifying workday emergency preventing you from riding your bike from work. Be sure to read full terms and conditions and then register for this program so you'll be ready to use it whenever you may need it. Note: UberXL service can generally accommodate a bicycle, but it's up to the driver's discretion if they will transport you and your bike. Check with the driver first.

Finally, as a related note: if you're seeking cycling insurance, Velosurance can cover theft, crashes, medical payments, and more.
