I too tried crying followed by curling up in a tight ball and rocking back and forth the wife wasn't impressed. Swearing and throwing spanners was the next step. 
Perhaps that's where the techy stuff comes in useful satphone / spot tracker etc.. I'm not a fan but I see where it comes in useful.
You won't know what you need to do until it happens. Every situation is going to be different. Unfortunately it can happen and all you can do is trust in peoples kindness and reduce the risks as much as possible before you commit to remote routes, prep the bike etc.... The more risk you take the more chance of something happening, but surely that's why we do it, go on adventures I mean.
In general a lot of the time we worry about stuff that probably won't happen. When it does happen its never as bad as you think ........mostly
