Broom Bike
Following bike/running races there is usually a "broom bike". Bigger races use a motorcycle but smaller events will be a marshall on his own bicycle. He sweeps the course to ensure that it is clear. Whilst it cannot pick up incapacitated competitors it may offer limited mechanical assistance and phone for assistance.

Famous quotes containing the word broom:
“If the juggler is tired now, if the broom stands
In the dust again, if the table starts to drop
Through the daily dark again, and though the plate
Lies flat on the table top,
For him we batter our hands
Who has won for once over the world’s weight.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
