Prepping for the Unlikely: Problems on the Road (AAA) & Theft (Tile)

[mvk24_imp]

I wish I had the oem tool kit.

I have the tool kit from cyclegear that goes on the bike for long trips.

Also I would suggest swapping out the handheld flashlight for a headlamp. You can get pretty small ones. I prefer rechargeable lights so I can just top them off every so often and know they're 90%+ whenever I may need them. If you're having to do anything with the bike at night you're gonna need both hands.

I also have AAA for the motorcycle. Think it was $40 for the year. Really would just call them if I needed a tow to the nearest shop on a trip far from home where a buddy can't get me with a pickup truck.

I would also advise hiding the tile in deeper places. I know that the sort of people that deal in stolen bikes for a living know to look for GPS locators and the obvious/easy access places are the first place they look. I even know guys that will glue one of those to the rim inside the tire.

I have actually been wanting to get a pack of Tile trackers for my bike and car also though since I have android I can't use the more popular Apple branded airtags.

Just looked at tiles website and the new ones they make have a button for a discreet SOS signal. Definitely getting that for some loved one.
