The day after, as soon as I started to tell this story to some cycling friends, women of about my age, they all immediately anticipated the young man's reaction. The fact that I have nearly half a century of experience in maintaining and repairing bicycles is not something that, in the circumstances, I felt it would be useful to insist upon. And in reality, unless the mountain biker was carrying the right tool, I probably couldn't have helped with the broken chain anyway!
