Dave Matthews may jet to performances around the world, but that doesn't mean his bicycle never breaks down.
The singer was forced to hitch a ride to his show in Hershey, Pennsylvania, on Saturday night after his bike broke down on a rural motorway.
Emily Kraus told WHP-TV that she and her boyfriend, Joe, were on their way to see Matthews perform when they spotted a stranded cyclist on the side of the road.

Miss Kraus said they helped the singer stow his bicycle on their bike rack and he got in their car for the rest of the ride.
She said Matthews invited them to dinner, took them back stage and got them front-row seats at the show.
The singer even signed their concert tickets, appropriately writing: "Thanks for the ride."
Miss Kraus said Matthews was a humble guy and that she woke up the next morning still amazed at what had happened.
"I woke up and said: 'OK, that really happened yesterday'," she told WHP-TV. "It was surreal. We couldn't believe it."
