I come across people trudging along pushing their flatted Wally World bike shaped object all the time. You know, their one ride a year sort. They have no tools and mostly no brains and if I think they could be having a safety concern (far from help or bad people about) I will try to help but it is like this, when we take our boat out, I only tow people when there is a safety concern, otherwise I call the CG or a commercial tow company for them. My time is valuable and I have very little free time to myself and I don't want to use it helping the "helpless" as tha tis why they have Darwin Awards.

Learn to fix flats if you ride a bike and you don't have to remove the wheel to patch a tube on many bikes. The tools are minimal.
