Scott Helped With A Broken Gear Cable

· Japan

My front gear cable snapped yesterday afternoon. Scott, cycling Japan on a recumbent bike, from Wales, but has lived in Thailand for the last 4 years, happened to be staying at the campsite which we had failed to book in advance, and he had a spare gear cable with him! He helped me fit it and I traded it for my spare brake cable 🙂
Scott had been staying at the same hostel with us too, but had had more adventures/misadventures while there
