With reference to your enquiry, I am sorry to advise you the RAC does
not provide a service for push bikes.

Find out if they provide a service for pedal bikes. Mine is only a
"push" bike when a serious mechanical failure occurs! ;-)

But when a serious mechanical failure occurs is exactly when you want
an equivalent of the AA or RAC to help.

Has anyone ever tried to call out the AA / RAC for help while out on
their bike?
