Years ago someone told me that if you bike past a cyclist in distress and want to help, ask if they have everything they need. Instead of implying they are helpless, you are assuming they could fix the problem if they had a tool that is maybe in their other bag. But it leaves them free to say, "I have no idea what I'm doing and would love some help"
