CHEERS to the kind Samaritan Juan, who helped my husband and me push our motorcycle on July 6. We were on our way home from a hot 2,000-mile motorcycle trip. We had just turned onto Coldwater Road off Wallen Road and crested the hill when our motorcycle died. Not only were we stopped on a very busy road, but the temperature was more than 100 at 11:30 a.m. Juan, from Lincoln Village, pulled into our addition and came to help us push the cycle the rest of the way home.
