AMA membership?

Hmm. Sounds like I’m not alone. Well, my membership runs out in a few months then I’ll stop the auto-renewal. I Ubered to the hospital then went back for my bike with a friend.

I can bump start a bike, but not really in front of a Starbucks up against a busy traffic circle, and nobody to help push but a few sullen hipsters.

In my case I guess I was the one "in the wrong" but only because I discovered this after the fact, uninformed decision or call it what you will. I meant to call and cancel, just never got around to it, or figured you never know when you'd need it, so I decided to let it lapse waiting for a situation with a technicality like this to see what would happen.

My dad actually has a towing business back in FL and whenever he'd get AAA calls I'd notice it was really communication between the person broken down and the tow truck driver. Once called, they can only bill after taking care of the job they were called for. As far as billing is concerned, they'd always specifically ask for a paper copy because they said AAA would in fact refund them(so I assume they eventually got a rebate check in the mail)

Their tables of probability keeps them in business I guess, they place their bets on the inconvenience it is to need roadside service and assume people try their best to avoid putting themselves in situations that require it at all costs. Certainly not something that happens multiple times in a year for the normal person. As some have mentioned, they've never even used them in some cases, I myself could have very well never used it myself with 5 more months left.

With that said they always seem to have weird guidelines that somehow have a pattern of coming up when you actually need something, so I guess maybe it comes down to being aware/having the right coverage

When the subcontractor showed up to save the day, I asked him what that would've cost out of pocket, he said $120 for coming out and $6 for the actual gas. For the $100 I paid for it, I've got my money back already, and doubt I'll need it again since getting off the old F, that's the main reason I even got it. Figured riding around a 40yr old bike could prove problematic. The one time I was stranded on the F I ended up pushing it home for half a mile from the Chase center, that was a good workout

Man, the funny thing about the story above is that thinking about it, I guess I was somewhat the sullen hipster myself pushing the bike home

Battery trouble is no fun, get a good Gel battery and be done with it.
