Flat tyre

With the roads being so bad and rubbish, nails and glass thrown everywhere, it is quite common for us to get a flat tyer. We have had three or four already. A couple nights ago we had one at 7pm so Stan pushed the bike several hundred meters down the road until we came to a moto repair shop. The owner was in a wheel chair. He had been born with two small misshapen  legs which he could not use. His nine year old son immediately started to work on the flat tyer when we pulled up.

The work was done under one very dim light. Stan had to use his flashlight app on his phone so people could see. After replacing the tube and for an hours work, they charged $5. We gave them a little bit extra as a tip and they were exceedingly pleased.
