Personal Consumer Issues • Use Uber as cycling emergency ride?

$

I've often thought that if I have an irreparable bike issue while out on a long bike ride, that I could get an Uber, and they would take me home.
Fortunately, I've never had to test this out, so I am not sure it would work.
Has anyone ever taken an Uber with a bike or other bulky item in the vehicle? (Golf clubs? Surfboard? :) )
How far are you riding? If its more than 20 miles round trip, you might need to make sure someone can pick you up or you have a riding partner that can do it.
Lots of public transit buses now have bike racks so if you’re biking where there’s good transit, that’s also an option.

I usually ride 40-50 miles/ ride, about 120-150 miles/week.
I've learned that if you're going to have trouble, it's often at the point where you are farthest from home. I don't know why, not always, but often.
Anyway, there are no buses in my suburban area which could help me home.
I also live alone, have no parents, kids, siblings that could pick me up, and friends aren't available. So I need AAA or Uber.
It's always something!
