A rant on "sale" prices at Puckipuppy bikes (startrek.website)
 

Last year I bought a brand new Puckipuppy ebike for $1,399.00.

I love it and feel like it was money well spent. In fact, I've been planning to buy a second Puckipuppy and have been stalking their website for the past few months looking at different models and mentally noting their regular prices. I was even going to order it directly from their website, cutting out Amazon.

Like most retailers they've been trumpeting about their upcoming "black friday" sale, and I've been anxious to see what kind of discounts were on offer. I checked again today.

I expected they would inflate their regular prices and then offer "big" discounts. We all know that's what happens, but I was not expecting something so blatant.

Last week, the bike I wanted was still listed for $1,399.00.

Today it's listed at... $1,399... marked down from $2,999.99.

To quote Mr. Worf, "you must think me a fool to make your lies so transparent!"

Roadside assistance services? (startrek.website)
 

I don't like fixing my own flat tires. I can do it but not quickly or efficiently; it's not something I can do on the side of the road under duress. I should probably work on that, I know, but in the meantime I take my bike to a local shop and have them do it for me.

But my ebike is pretty heavy, which means a flat tire is basically immobilizing. I've had to call a friend or hire a truck when I get a flat. I'm wondering if there's anything like an auto club for cyclists. Maybe even a service that would fix my flat right there on the spot.

I googled, but don't trust the search results. Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions?
