Hybrid Man Saves Day

Before I was on this bike trail over the bridge into Wisconsin, I was on the other side of that wall hitchhiking from an entrance ramp onto Route 94. I tried to flag down pickup after pickup with no success. After 15 minutes a Prius stopped. Ten points for fuel efficiency, but zero for being any help, I thought.
Turns out the guy is a cyclist, and after offering to give me a ride, he said, ''You know, there's a bike trail over the bridge just on the other side of this wall.'' Shocked, I thanked him repeatedly, and found the trail. I've ridden every mile of this route so far, and didn't plan to hitch a half-mile-long shuttle over any bridges. Staying on the bike is what pleased me most.
